Carburetor Stud Size & Distance on Manifold??

Post by Rdinatal »

Can anyone measure, or know, the stud size and distance apart (not center to center) for the carburetor mounting??

Hi RD,
According to my TM9- 8030, the carb stud size is 3/8x16 NC x 24NF x 1 7/16 length.

Still digging on the distances; might anyone have a carb gasket they can measure for RD? My manuals don't have that measurement.
Thanks,
Gary

Perfect! I have a gasket arriving tonight that will work for any other measurements.

You might not need this information if you already have a gasket coming, but here's a photo of the manifold with measurements between the studs as well as center-to-center, which should be quite close. Please double-check them against the gasket you receive in case I made an error.
