A shot down the throat of the new carb.

thumbnail
Here's the air cleaner on the carb.

thumbnail
The nipple doesn't give much room for a fuel line. I removed it and hard plumbed new steel line.

thumbnail
Here is the new carb installed. Note the fuel line.

thumbnail
The fuel line sits on top of the kick-down spring. A small section of fuel line is used as a protective sleeve.

A wider shot shows the fuel line going to the filter.
