Charlie,
Your thoughts are always welcomed. You have summarized a number of possible
problems which I appreciate. I do think someone goobered up my bike and I
am still combing the angles out of her, wish the dealer had done that when
he said he "went through the bike". Yeah right! Anyway, my girl does have
the 'A' prefix. After Christmas I will check into these possibilities.
THanks, BOb

Hi Bob and all,
There could be three things going on here:
1) different boots for V700/early Ambos that came with the SS1 carbs and
the
 later Ambos/Eldos (they have different part numbers)
2) different length "velocity stacks" (I've seen at least three types)
3) different manifolds - different curve, length? I don't have these
around
 to compare.

I can't remember Bob, is yours an early Ambo (has an "A" in front of the
serial number)? It could be someone mixed and matched poorly with parts if
it was converted from the SS1s. Just some thoughts on the matter. Cheers,

Charlie

I have personally witnessed two different length
airbox to dual carb rubber boots. The original one on
my bike was the long one and a "new" one (I don't
remember where I got it) was too short by an inch and
a half or so.

Zer,
I was talking to Tom about this as he sent pics of
his boot to me and I do
see that it smacks right up tight to the airbox.
Either my airbox is too
far back or my engine too far forward!! Seriously,
I wonder if the inakes
on the ends of the carbs are to short. I got the
bike this way from the
Dealer and the previous boot that was on there was
also duct taped, a real
mess so I bought a new boot but it was still not
right. I will continue to
investigate. Thanks, Bob

Hmm. maybe something is bent somewheres. When I
bolt up the airbox the
boot
 is very tight against the airbox.

Zer,
I'll look at my rubber sleeve again but mine is
pretty far from the air
box
 
 and is not square to it either. And, I have
tried flipping the rubber
 
 sleeve to see if I had it on in reverse. Still
askew and too far. But,
 
 something to do during snow days. Thanks. Bob

clear silicon adhesive/sealer. much better.
excess can be wiped away
 
 with
a
 finger. and you can barely see any excess
anyow.
 
 
 
pull the battery. undo the two bottom bolts on
the air cleaner and
just
 
 
 loosent eh top bolt. then you can use your
finger to goo the lip of
the
 
 boot
 then swing the cleaner housing back into
place and bingo.

Bob,

There is another alternative that you might
want to consider. Gary

I thought about the inner sleeve trick
myself, let us know how it
works
