#235778 mkonantz (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 36 BAK Leak 2 Weeks ago   Hey everybody, I have a stock carb with Baron's BAK.The sleeve that came with the air kit that mates the air kit to the carb doesn't seal on either side. Is this typical of this product? its ruining my AFR. is there a part or adapter that i can use to get a better or complete seal? Experience/Advice welcome.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235780 TROB (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 117 Re:BAK Leak 2 Weeks ago   really? it should fit pretty snug. Do you have the clamp on there? also, i suck with mechanical stuff, but why would extra air that is going in where the air filter is, cause noticeable problems? yes, thats a real question   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/06 13:49 By TROB.   2007 Road Star BAK Bub Jug Huggers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #235781 smhowse (Moderator) I'm NOT afraid of going fast but, crashing sucks Moderator Posts: 2642 Re:BAK Leak 2 Weeks ago   Get 2 large hose clamps to use. It's supposed to be siliconed on the BAK side and clamped on the carb side but, it doesn't work that way. OR you can get a piece of radiator hose and used that with 2 hose clamps Steven   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235785 Erbman02 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 436 Re:BAK Leak 2 Weeks ago   mkonantz wrote: Hey everybody, I have a stock carb with Baron's BAK.The sleeve that came with the air kit that mates the air kit to the carb doesn't seal on either side.

The glue on the filter side has been know to give out. If you do decide to RV silicone it, give it a full day to cure or it will give out again, been thar, done that. I ended up just using hose clams on both sides.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235789 mkonantz (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 36 Re:BAK Leak 2 Weeks ago   thanks guys.nice to know im not alone. sounds like the best way to do it is go with the hose clamps.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #235817 Crusierbob (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 753 Re:BAK Leak 2 Weeks ago   I have glued mine on 2 occassions and the last time I took a large black cable tie and cinched it down tight on the BAK side. I use the stock clamp on the carb side. Seems to be working pretty well.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #235824 Mr_Shamrock (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 245 Re:BAK Leak 2 Weeks ago   TROB wrote: really? it should fit pretty snug.

Moderator Posts: 4605 Re:BAK Leak 1 Week, 6 Days ago   Mine came loose at the BAK side too I got some silicone and gooped it up real good and haven't had a probem now in many miles. I also got a narrow 1/4" wide worm clamp from my favorate bike shop that does racing bikes and used it on the carb end.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #235888 Crazyron1369 (User) Ron Junior Boarder Posts: 106 Re:BAK Leak 1 Week, 6 Days ago   TROB wrote: [quote]really? it should fit pretty snug.

That would defeat the purpose of the aie filter.   Logged     Ride hard Die hard Ron   The administrator has disabled public write access.
