It's been awhile since I've tried it, might be that I could use Fred's
method if I also removed the choke link between the carbs. ISTR there was
some problem tho, and I decided my method was quicker and easier. After
all, I only undo 3 nuts and can work entirely under the car. It doesn't
even have to come off the jackstands.
But without removing the air cleaners, I can't even stick my hand down and
touch the starter from the top. Perhaps that's because I use TR4-style
paper filters.
