If the air box carb boots are in good condition, they can usually be rolled back over themselves. Or folded flat slightly...
Then just wedg'em in! :laugh: Without breaking anything of course.
Cheers.

soaking the boots in very hot water will make them a lot softer.

I roll off the springs and then pull the boots back into the air box. Then install the boots through the air box. My boots have been replaced so they are soft. If yours are 30 years old and hard as a rock then it's pretty much a PITA how ever you do it.
