<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"

on a BJ8 - which because of the carb size I think was
probably harder. I had to actually modify a perfectly good
wrench to get the bottom inside nuts loosened. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"
lang="EN-CA">A lot of heat and experimenting before I got it
right and even then it only gave me enough purchase to
probably get 1/16 of a turn of the nut! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"
lang="EN-CA">But loosening the nuts paled in comparison to
getting those same nuts back on. Getting each nut actually
located on the stud probably took one hour each and it
involved using grease on my finger tip to hold the nut in
place and try to turn it that first segment of a turn to get
it started.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

been thirty years since the last time I needed to do
anything major on my BJ7 so my memory is not quite clear.
Can I remove the rear carb independently from the front
carb? I have already designed a tool to access the lower
hold down bolts. If I remember correctly, I may have
rebuilt and installed the carburetors when I rebuilt the
engine, so access was not much of a problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
