During inspection found a crack in the rubber boot/flange
(15-00392 ROTAX 267-789 RUBBER FLANGE ASSY)
that connects the carb to the intake manifold on right side carb.
Ordered two (figured replace right and left while at it) from CPS and have them here.
See photo attached.
Several questions.... one specific:
# Where can I find the torque for the two nuts that will hold the flange on the intake manifold?
(Preferably without having to wade through the whole heavy maintenance manual.)
Or better yet, one of you who has quick access to it, could you just tell me the torque spec?
# Is there any seating compound or gasket sealer or grease recommended or advisable to go between the flange and the intake manifold?
# Any general tips or things to watch out for on what LOOKS like a simple straight-forward remove and replace two nuts job*? Any gotch'yas? Am I going to mess up the mechanical sync badly or at all when I have to back the carb off the old rubber boot in the process of removing and replacing the flange?
All help appreciated.
