Dasa Intake Manifold Difficult to Remove Carbs

[fischer550]

I have a dasa dual intake manifold with the "Speed Plate" style o-ring setup. It is really difficult to take the carbs off for jetting changes!! Anybody uses a special tool or have any tricks how to do this? It is really hard to get to some of the bolts that it uses while the carbs on on.

Use a rounded longer allen wrench.

You can have the carbs off in no time with the long reach ball tipped Allen sockets. Had em off 4 times in one day a week ago.

The fuel lines are what kinda sucks about that whole process.

Disconnecting the fuel lines from the tank rather than the carbs is generally easier access and one or two less lines to disconnect . Then the only two to deal with in the cramp zone are the pulse lines...

Thanks I might try that, im sure having a/m fuel pick up helps, the stock tank return fitting is kinda weak and it also sucks to remove the lines from the typical plastic y-return fitting.
