nope, i must be the only one ?
i had about an 1/8" gap when using a stock style intake, and almost a 1/2" now with the pro-design intake i use now.
it's also possible to fudge the internal rod adjustment of the clutch slightly to bump the arm slightly forward to clear the carb bowl, but it requires a good understanding of the rod adjustment, and a perfect length, brand new clutch cable to do so, an old stretched cable will not pull the "advanced" arm far enuf to fully disengage the clutch
as larry the cable guy says.......
your results may vary, I:I
