JBM boots - holding bolt is in the way of the throttle

[strang]

Am installing JBM boots on bs38 carbs.
Got them on this morning but the throttle arm that connects to the cable is knocking against the outside bolt that is holding the boot on. What am i missing here? using quite small-headed allen bolts as well.

I think we need to see a picture.......

have tried them upside down and swapped them side to side. urrrgghhhh

That throttle arm is all bent to crap it should be basically flat with the face of where it is bolted to the shaft. Picture worth a thousand words..........

That arm looks bent in, it should be straight.

 

[gggGary]

It should look like this.

 

[gggGary]

Remove the arm from the shaft before you straighten it........

yeah thats bent to hell. what carbs are those with 2 jet scews right there?

 

[gggGary]

IMHO he's just using those to sync the carbs, JBM boots don't have barbs.

ggGary thanks so much - bent the arm in a vice and it's all good.
Had me for a while though as the bend looked like it was part of the design. Just one of the hassles of getting a bike that's incomplete - you don't know what is supposed to be right. I would have been stuffed today without this place.
Tomorrow I might even ride the thing!

yeh gold barbs are for syncing - if your Europe side this is best price out there:
