[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 125633, member: 3691"] This is true, but I read through some of the issues you encountered and figured I would do some heading off at the pass if you will. Since it was discussed, I might as well give it a shot. That cyclinder had a spring and v-tipped rod leading into it, so I left it. I will have to crack the top off eventually. Being I am running the 1000 motor, I am sure I will need to rejet at some point. But for now, I am just trying to seal up all possible vacuum issues. Just a quick note on the one behind the choke. I can see where the channel comes out on the base, and you can see where it was pulling in air from the streaming it had on the gasket, so I am sure that is what I heard screaming like a dying mouse last night. Oh, I used 1/8 inch rubberized cork felpro gasket material for the base gasket under the carb. I was not pleased with the way it looked after I pulled the carb today, so I went back to that rubber one that came with the kit. I am also changing the mounting bolts to standard bolts. The nuts are tough to get to with the added height. It puts them right behind the big bottom bar in the trestle that the shell surrounds. So the carriage bolts are going down the road. I may do the wood "lifters\" on the head to get the carb up that extra 5/8 of an inch to give me free access to the air idle screw and other items. I also had to adjust my mount for the throttle cable, since the carb was lifted, it was binding. I just removed the most interior bolt, and drill a new hole 1/4 inch higher to take out the bind and let the cable be free to move again. I saw how 81 Wing uses the unilink, so I may get that in the near future, but my round electrical terminal and vacuum cover are doing the trick just fine, and they are about 20 dollars cheaper after shipping....lol But I like the Uni-link, its just on the "cant wait for my next check" list.
