Carb to manifold rubber size

[ArKaTxU]

Hi.
What must be the size of a carb to manifodl rubber?
Must the carb touch the manifold, or must be some space between this two things?
Thanks!

a push on one should be a tight push fit no gaps

Shouldn't touch, no point to having a remotely mounted carb otherwise

you can move it in a bit i used a hose like this instead of a normal rubber just cut it to the lenght you want (this type of hose not this actual one )

OK!
Thank both.
I have two types, the 2normal" one, and the other one like a radiator hose:

The normal type of carb rubber has a raised section inside to stop the carb touching the manifold and also to give a continuous air flow. The radiator type hose doesn't have this but I find it much stronger than normal carb rubbers and much cheaper. If you buy a length of it, say 300 mm, you can cut 4 or 5 pieces for around the same cost as the normal single one.
