Have refitted new ones several times and even had the local scooter shop fit a set but sooner or later they dissappear. The holes in the stand don't go all the ...

I don't have the front rubber in place, but don't think the rubber I have, which I think is a standard one, will make much difference to the gap.

Re: "Normal" Spitback?

It's currently running an Indian SR 185 kit but if I am to invest in a new carb I would like to take into account that I might change to a different cylinder kit at some point in the future, probably something with a reed valve :) Sent from my SM-G985F using Ta...
