Making a carb fit

I'm not sure why you posted the intake for a honda ruckus (compatible?). But the easiest way to mount a different size carb is to use rubber hoses (3/4" hose for the stock intake) and hose clamps. If your carb has a smaller outer diameter than the hose (for example, 3/4" is 19mm, if your carb has a 12mm O.D., the hose wouldn't fit), you can use a copper pipe reducer coupling to go up or down a size (1/2" in this example) and use the appropriate size hose. I know copper pipes come in 1/2", 3/4", 7/8", 1" and possibly larger. My 19mm Dellorto PHBG fit perfectly when I used a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter and a 3/4" and 1" hose (O.D. on those pipes will be different than their rated size. Copper pipes are measured from their inside diameter, so a 1/2" pipe will have a 1/8" wall, coming to a total outer diameter of 3/4"... or pretty darn close anyway.
 
well you know i figured i could take the intake off of my met or my ruckus :]

but i ordered this carb and i love the idea and that it is a little richer then stock 13-14mm vs 15mm
