Fellow listers,
I have a 1962 BN7 tri carb. I'm doing the reassembly part of the
restoration and find that the jet head on the rear carb is extremely
close to the steering tube. It's so close that if the choke were to be
operated there would be no possible downward movement at all. So far
I've found out that the jet is the correct length for the carb (some
after market jets are longer than the original equipment). The frame
hasn't been damaged/bent. Engine and trans mounts are new. I've
researched the list archives and not found anything relating to this
problem. Steering tube looks to be centered through the firewall and
dash. Carbs, heat shield and spacers are correctly assembled. From my
reading of the workshop manual and looking at it's mounts I don't think
the steering tube can be moved away from the jet head. Anyone ever
experience a clearance problem like this? Any thoughts would be
appreciated.
Thanks, Dan
