A lot of stuff mentioned. Compression ratio can be a factor. I have a 22” in front of a stock 383 no problem but my 440 with 11 to 1 has the biggest rad I can fit cause it needs better cooling capacity. The mention of burping is very important. Not overfilling is also important. Checking...

Have you tried disconnecting the fuel line at the carb end and pumping the fuel into a container with someone cranking the engine?

and make sure you install the arm on the correct side.....

I can't really tell from the photo but as stupid as it may sound check your arrow direction that it's not in backwards.....

When you tighten the eccentric bolts it should squeeze up against the sleeves inside the bushings and tighten without crushing the poly bushings. When tight you should be able to rotate the arm up and down without the arm interfering with the frame. The eccentric bolts should be able to move the...

So without the bushings installed the arm will fit inside the area. When you installed the bushings the setup is too wide. The bushings cannot be for that arm. They are probably for OEM but not for the aftermarket which is stupid but that's what can happen when aftermarket stuff gets involved...

Need a picture of the other side

Someone is try to tell you something. No way would I bother at this point. I would mention these design flaws and send pictures for a refund. They should refund even though you installed them. It’s their design flaw. I wonder if they sent the wrong bushing. It’s time for customer support...

Crazy. It's just a f'n press to install them. That sucks. If you had a big vice you could do it yourself with a piece of pipe on the back side. A harbor freight large deep socket set might even do it in a pinch. Then return it... Tough to say without pictures of the exact setup. I have done OEM...

I haven't seen a picture of the fuel line route but make sure the fuel line is away from the heater and radiator hoses. Check that your fuel line is not near the exhaust system back by the tank and muffler. Also in the rear wheel well where it goes from the frame to the tank. If you have a...

I had been tracking down an issue like this for years. I finally discovered that the heat riser shaft on the exhaust manifold was leaking hot exhaust. The exhaust was pumping out a stream out towards the fuel line. There was a small hole next to the shaft for some reason. It was factory. Not a...

Even the originals can move without the sleeve pressed over the bushing from the other side. You will need a set of four collar sleeves to press onto the new bushings as well if you really want to cover yourself. You could place spacers/thick washers on each side to prevent them from...

My recollection is that those newer bushings resemble the original ones which don't just have a washer. It's a tube that has a washer like flange on the end and that metal tube presses into the rubber portion from the other side and when it's tightened the frame is crushed up to it so that it...

Make sure you have the correct spacing between rockers that is given in the instructions. Also there is a specific number of threads to show or not to show during adjustment or oiling will be a because the hole in the rocker will be blocked. Push rod length is critical. There’s a lot of...

Useful. Thanks
