Mark,
My Air Cleaner is the type that has a single 4bbl base, but the top has 2 bolts (giving the apperence of 2 carbs). The bolts run staight up through the cleaner on each end, and hold the top on with wing nuts.
The problem is the heads of these bolts (with out the adaptor, which happens to be TOO SMALL in diameter for the Demon carb anyway) lay directly on top of each Float adjustment on top the float bowls.
I COULD just get a different base plate for the cleaner assembly. May one with just the center bolt that comes up out of the single carb. (Although I like the looks of mine better).... but, functionally it won't work the way it is.
MODIFICATION:
The other thought was MAYBE,.... cutting into the bottom of the plate, recessing FLAT bolt heads. This MIGHT give enough clearence If I just make a gasket to fit between the Assembly and the Carb.
This would do away with the vent hose provision thats in the spacer and goes to the Valve cover,.... I guess I would have to make a provision in the base plate.
Why can't things "JUST BOLT UP" ???
