Hey there ,
I’m going back and working on these carbs. They’re for a 650 but I have the brackets for the 400. Only issue is the shafts need to move about 6 -8mm . I think I’ve got 3 options to get these to work.
1. cut away these red areas . Only issue is the piece may not be strong enough and will snap . This also might not be able to give me enough room.
2. Drill and tap new holes where the dots are and cut away the rest in red . There’s an “elbow where the tapped one would be so I’m worried that would cause issues . Not to mention how fine the threads are.
3. Cut the shaft and washer and then reattached the “L” piece . I’m worried this will be the hardest. Does anyone know how these are attached ? Brazed ? Or peened?
