I got one with a straight fuel inlet, It needs to be 90 degrees. Is there a way to modify it? The fuel hose kinks against the engine otherwise.

You probably don't have the correct carb. They usually are configured to fit right on...as is. But if you are stuck with it, you can easily modify the gas line intake. The fuel intake is pressed in to the actual carburetor casting and can be pulled out by twisting it with a pair of pliers or vice grips. I don't know where you are located but most shops or parts places will be able to sell you a 90 degree intake. You need to press it into the port. The normally don't leak. Hope that helped! Dave C.

I have the same car and had to modify the pipe with the bend in order to get it to fit because it's too long. If you have a skill saw, hand held saw something that will cut through the tube just mark a bit before the bend and cut. (Measure inside engine bay before cutting) once modified it works fine. hope this helps.

over the new metal air intake that you install on your air filter. it makes the flexible hose fit snug. also i recommend going over your spark plugs or anything you plan on getting wet woth dialectric grease.

For a "proper" installation, you must make the original hole slightly larger. I did not want to alter my beloved Weber but found the modification to be painless and really facilitates a top notch installation. Placing thermometer in the vent will give false readings due to laws of thermodynamics of collective hot gases trying to escape a small opening. Go for it - you will NOT be sorry!

I would recommend you getting a tune. The factory tunes run lean as it is so I would seriously advise you to install a tune to compensate for added air flow

I'd leave the gas in, and add sta-bil. Haven't got my Durostar yet, but I assume there's a clamp at an inline filter and carburetor you could undo.

This is the answer I got when I asked, so it is how I have it: Mount it so the bigger end is nearer the fuel tank.

I do not know if it is adaptable for this fuel source. Suggest that you call Rheem, or go on their website and download the pdf specs for this unit...it's free.

Sorry I can't comment, I but unless you have done a lot of modification to the 302 it will not pull enough air wasting fuel and performance. Not much help but Glen

There may be an easy solution to your problem as I discovered the second time I used my Generac. I kept starting the engine, and it would run very rough, and as soon as I closed the choke the engine would stall. I finally figured out that I had the fuel flow switch turned off, and as soon as I moved the fuel lever to the open position, my problem was solved!! Although I felt extremely foolish, I felt it was important to share with others. The fuel lever is not well marked, and I did not notice that I had left it closed.

My Bike has an ironhead motor, I had to get the proper intake manifold because the ID of the carb was lager than the stock manifold Causing fuel to pool and back fire out the carb.

My intake went bad under the thermostat but it leaked coolant and shorted out my coil. There was no way the oil and anti freeze could mix there. You might have 2 separate problems. If you're doing the intake I would go all the way and replace the head gaskets too.

The one I got was vented (the cap has a screw type vent), but the fuel line did not swivel as advertised. Additionally, it does leak out of the fuel line during storage when going through temperature changes...I seem to have this problem with a completely different metal tank, so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing (or not doing correctly).

There is a factory setting, however the settings are only correctif other things are ok. Fuel, air intake, compression, etc.. The answer to the question is yes.

I had the same issue. There is a problem with the pin pressing on the fuel valve before the seal is made. I wasn't going to grind anything down so I sent it back.

There are no adjustments on the carbureator. Just make sure you get all the linkage and springs back on the same way they came off. Should start up after that. You might use starter fluid in the throat to get it going. Gas will work too. Good luck. Mine is still running.

Yes! I had the same exact one! It's a very tight squeeze. I had to stick my hand in the housing part to adjust the angled bolt. It will seem like it won't fit on top, but To get the main housing over the throttle body you have to kinda rotate it and go from the right side. You'll get it eventually
