1975 E/rude 6 HP ....going to put a kit in the carb.
Have cleaned the carb a couple of times without the aid of a manual, but had to reseal the gearcase and R/R impeller, so found an OEM manual on E-Bay....did not want to tackle that free-hand...
Since I have manual I actually read the section on carb removal just to see if i was missing anything (not really expecting any surprise since i had done it a few times before with no problem).
Woah! "Not so fast Buck Rogers" .
The last step in the procedure (after you would have the carb in your hand) says " Remove 7 screws attaching intake manifold to crankcase..Remove intake manifold, leaf plate assembly and gasket from crankcase..."
My question is : why would I need to do that? Is there a maintenance item to do there?
