[QUOTE="Little Honda, post: 121912, member: 667"] From memory, I assume, that yr angles side- and forward are the operating limits, as claimed by Mikuni. It´s not the carb angle in a solo bike, as long, as it´s fitted as it should. It may be due to the slow hardening process of the rubber connector, which hardens by time, temperature changes and fuel used. On all V4- Hondas their rubber fittings harden to brittleness within 30.000miles. You cannot refit their 4 carbs onto these old hard rubber studs without warming them up to soften timewise for refitting. Imagine, how the fuel surface looks inside yr carb, while you cannot recognize anything in yr rear mirror! Open the throttle a bit less, and no leaks - if not anything fell apart inside yr carb!
