    I meant to post this a few months ago, I recently replaced the stock (and cracked) fuel inlet elbow on my '94 Glide CV carb, supplied by CVP. I must admit to being very apprehensive about doing this not wanting to crack the carb body. Anyway I found the job very straightforward but made even easier by freezing the brass connector and at the same time warming the carb body on the range cooker. You can feel the slight difference in fit by doing this and a careful sqeeze in the vice completes the job - relief !!

    no doubt a little expand warm and contraction cold can make the diff.
