Mac,
The answer is to make/get a long plate about a 1/2" wide drill a hole where the top of the Carb bolts are at, use a 3/16 threaded rod, drill a hole through the end of the strip but still under the air cleaner base. then drill a hole for the threaded rod to go through the bottom of the air cleaner, add a lock nut and problem is solved. This is a very common problem with these air cleaners. If you can wait till I get eddies done I'll take some pictures. You can still take off the top to clean the air cleaner element. I'll take a photo or two of what I am talking about. When the top is on, no one is the wiser!
