Hi, trying to fit bike carbs to KR block and fuel inlet is resting on top of the water hose housing leaving a gap of about 1/4 inch off the manifold. The carbs have been welded onto the manifold and we don't have enough angle to clear the hose. I think the options are to cut the carbs off and re angle them or somehow modify the plastic housing for the hose. Both are looking quite costly. Any suggestions?
