no problem man, take your carb off and remove the 4 intake bolts

take out the reed cage and intake

take the 4 screws out and get rid of old reeds

install new reeds and make SURE TO USE LOCKTITE ON THE SCREWS!!!!! nothing like a fat nasty reed cage screw in your motor to mess up your day..

clean up all gasket surfaces and reinstall using new gasket.

go out and enjoy your new reeds and the self satisfaction of doing it yourself I:I I:I B)

Would it be a good idea to use a gasket maker?

 

[blasterdemon7]

I would to be on the safe side.

 

[brandoz28]

That depends. Do You mean substitute the gasket for gasket maker? Or use it on the gaskets?


I always use a little rtv on the intake gaskets

Use only a very, very little rtv on the gaskets if you have to, too much will squeeze out and interupt air flow.

You have seen the light I:I. Either buy a Clymers Repair manual (20-30$) or find the download on here. Just think of the mods you will buy I:I with the money you don't give to the infamous mechanic Ben Dover X(

Is the the Ben Dover that employs Phil McCavity as head mechanic?
