I've given the carbs a cleaning on my '82 Maxim, and wondered if there are any tips on the easiest way to put them back in. It took a bit of wrestling and prying with a wooden lever to pop them back into the rubber intakes, and I had to push the air cleaner joint tubes all the way into the air box to have enough room. Now the ridges on the tubes are catching on the holes in the air box at the same time the ends of the tubes catch on the carb intakes. It looks like you need three hands to fit in an area two of mine won't squeeze into.
Am I going about this the hard way? Is there a technique to pop these things in without the cussing and high blood pressure? Especially since I will undoubtedly have to pull/re-clean/install them about a dozen times before everything is running right.
Thanks,
