So Ive got my TM36-68 pumper carb installed. I had both stock throttle cables hooked up and operating fine, but then I tried to get my Acerbis tank on and it s a definite no-go.

I even removed the push cable and still no luck. The petcock bowl of the tank is hitting the important part of the carb (the rotating throttle wheel). So what tank do y all run with your TM36-68? (kwgld1, mustang?)

THIS FORUM IS SO BROKEN! [&:]

I tried throwing the stock tank back on and I might need to shim the back of it even to get the stocker to fit.
What about the Clarke? Anyone running the Clarke and the TM36?

 

Kawi, piece of cake, Grind off the top of the throttle cable wheel. I have a clarke tank heres a pic its way in the back. Not a very good pic sorry.

 

Yeah, guess I didn't think of the grinder... I'll have to give it another look.

I've never been a fan of the Clarke tank because of the way the brass fittings are so close to the frame?
(there's some interference if I recall correctly and a lot of people are shimming the back to compensate?)

That's just crap as far as I'm concerned -the tankwas supposed to be builtspecifically for our machines.

 

My tank fit okay I didn't have to shim anything.

 

This morning I gently finessed the top of the carb with the grinder

 

Looks like the Acerbix tank might work after all

 

pics to come...
