DO-IT-YOURSELF CURVED MANIFOLD

For some applications, our upgraded carburetor/manifold combination cannot be installed due to clearance issues.  On race karts the carb or air filter may hit the right rear tire.  On barstool racers the carb may hit the foot rest on the barstool.  We offer this solution for the do-it-yourselfer.

   

You will need:

  1. One of our manifolds.  You may choose a manifold with or without a pulse fitting.
  2. A radiator hose which contains the desired angle.  For our race kart we went with a 45 degree bend.  The radiator hose needs a 1 1/4" ID.
  3. Two hose clamps.
   

Cut the manifold in half.  A band saw or hack saw works great for this.  Cut out the section of radiator hose you plan to use.

   

First bolt on the head side of the manifold.

Slide the hose onto the head flange and clamp in place.

Slide the carburetor side of the manifold into the hose and clamp securely.

   

We install a support brace from one of the carburetor bolts, down to a shroud bolt to reduce vibration.

   

Complete setup installed.
