Well, I learned a lesson today the hard way. I did a Goldwing trike project back in 2014 where I bought a lite rollover Tri wing trike. I soon discovered that the carbs were in tough shape and the cost to get them repaired was almost as much as it cost to replace the bike. So I bought a nice used wing and swapped them out. I kept the old one thinking I would someday repair it. I have since gotten interested in the single carb idea. I purchased from eBay a manifold made by a person in Missouri. I had a good rebuilt pict34 carb and got going on it again this fall. After changing oil and filter, new belts and adjusting the valves I decided that I would install the manifold and carb and see if it will fire up before going much deeper in the project. I found a very good video on YouTube and as luck would have it , it looked like my manifold. I watched it twice and followed the instructions as I did it. After shortening the cable and trying to install it I realized it wasn't going to work. Long story short.............I found out that there must be two versions of this manifold design . They look the same but depending which one you have they mount 180 degrees different. What a wasted day, but I think I have it all sorted out and can recover and make it work. Thanks for listening JohnB
