I'm about to install my FCR 41 Kit.

The rear of the banked carb kit has 2 threaded intake adapters, are these thread- locked in, sealed in, or just snugly tightened up?

Thanks

I loctited mine as being single carbs they could (and probably would) rotate slightly thereby loosening the carb from the intake. However I can't see the need on a banked pair as they can't rotate whilst attached to each other.

Thanks for the info, I lubed them with liqui-moly white marine grease, and tighten them up, wanted to make sure of air tight seal.

Thank you!
