69 Commando Mounting Twin Carbs

Forums

Hi,
69 S code. Carbs were just loosely bolted onto the bike when I got it.

I have refitted and tightened the 2 manifolds with the heat insulators and they seem fine. I am assuming the manifolds are not handed

Offered up the carbs which look correct- 930 left and right but there is not enough clearance between them and they are not sitting flush with the manifolds.

Obviously I can grind a little off the flanges but wanted a sense check 1st.

These are the codes off the handed carbs: 930/43, 930/44 

Thx

Eddie

Manifolds are not handed.

Need a close-up picture to be sure but it is likely that you need to file a flat on the inside of each carburettor where they touch. The location will mirror where the idle adjustment screw is fitted on the outside - the castings are not handed but then machined up left and right.

Filed the flanges.

Missed filing the blanked off idle adjustment casting.

Also shown on the image of the carb on the left.
