Two questions:
1. Can I reverse direction of the carb boot clamp on the right front cylinder (not sure what number it is?)?
This is that one that is not straight forward to get to the screws when removing the carbs.
If you look at the carb boot and the clamp pin groove to set the position of the clamp - the clamp should be installed like shown in the photo - which makes it a lot easier to get to.
I found both clamps intsalled opposite of this picture.
Is the picture the correct orientation (it would seem so by design of the boot pin index feature) and it sure would make installation easier - i just don't know if there are other problems with this orientaion that i would not find out unitl later in assembly?
2. Also tightening of the boot clamps with new Honda OEM boots. The clamps snug up pretty good with about 1/16 gap from the clamps completely closed. Are thes clamps designed to be completely bottomed out (completly closed) or should they be set with a torque screwdriver?
Thanks,
Paul
