Re: carburetor neck

Ok, folks, it arrived and fits well. Here is a related problem. After doing some research I figured out that the part that fits on the rocker arm cover is called a flame arrester. Then there is a hose that goes to the air cleaner spacer. It all fits together fine, except the guy who rebuilt my engine took the flame arrester and hose off of the rocker arm cover. There is nothing I can do to get the flame arrester back on. It is a simple round peg trying to fit in a round hole, and it just won't go. I even tried removing the flame arrester from the hose, cleaning up the flame arrester, greasing the end and putting a large socket over it and hitting it with a mallet. I do not see any obstruction. The rubber grommet is not soft like the one on the PCV valve side of the engine. Do I need to remove the rocker arm cover and replace the grommet? This one thing is turning out to be a pain in the rear.
