1 - make sure you throttle cable & choke cables are in the right positions to refit once the carbs are located.
2 - make sure ALL rubber clamp screws are lose "Stupidly lose" as the rubbers need to stretch for the carbs to seat properly, you can smear a bit of red rubber grease in if you want to,
3 - the front 2 carb rubbers face the choke side
4 - the rear 2 carb rubbers face upwards
5 - drop the idle adjustor screw into the gap in the frame as you lower the carbs,
6 - locate the carbs into the front 2 rubbers, check underneath with a torch before applying pressure,
7 - apply pressure until they click into place youll hear the slide springs rattle if your lucky thats the reasuring sound i go by,
8 - using a small flat blade screwdriver (i used a 3.5mm Facom driver) lever Cylinder one rubber bike lightly and apply pressure downwards and keep the pressure applied
9 - do the same again to cylinder 3 and then apply further pressure until you hear the slide springs rattle again.

Nice one, have a cup of soup for your efforts.

where did you get that red breather filter from? id like to know :D

I found the biggest difference between this job being a complete pig and a 1 min job was fitting them to a warm bike i.e warm pple rubbers vs. a cold/standing in the garage for a while bike. Some people heat them in warm water first.

I fitted new rubbers here (mid winter) and it took my forever. However, at the track on a warm bike, I popped them off and on in about 30 secs! Obviously don't get it too hot else you will burn yourself.
