Mikuni carb problem.

[Colt45]

I bought a Mikuni TM36-68 carb for my 1998 350 warrior and the stock airbox boot isn't long enough to attach to the carb. Does anyone know what to get to make it long enough to attach?

Get the od of the carb and airbox and buy 2 silicone elbows. Cut them where they meet and attach them together with some clamps and a piece of pipe.

Thank you for the help! I'm assuming you mean to use a piece of plastic tube just long enough to clamp both silicone sides together right?

Correct or metal

Ok thanks. I also have one more question I have a problem with my forward and reverse lever not engageing to forward and just grinds. I tried adjusting the rod as much as I could to make it push as far as possible to the forward position and still isn't engaging and I'm worried I'll have to split the case. what do you think it could be?

You have to really force it in. It also helps if you shift while still moving.

OK i'll keep messing with it before splitting the case.

If it helps, FWIW, I still have to jiggle and force the lever on mine. It seems to help to hold it forward as I let off the clutch. It will align and engage as I let off the clutch.

OK thanks for the suggestion I'll also try that and see if it works.

Your best bet is going too be too split case and inspect your shift forks , shift drums shift star cause if your lin kage is right then you have other issue
