[Tigers] Air cleaner color

Tue Jan 18 15:27:10 MST 2022

Ah ok. Well I don’t suppose we can expect it to fit later design carbs,
although it’s annoying if the original does.  I’ve never liked the transfer
pipe set up on the 4160.  Are you using that just because you don’t have
space for a 4150 style without hitting the bulkhead?  I ended up notching
the triangular piece and folding it in a few mm to fit my pro systems (4150
style) carb.  Not ideal, but I need that carb to wake up all the 490 horses.
