<VV> Question on YH throttle body clearance

Hi Robyn.

	There is a fairly fat gasket stack between the two.  The
important part of that stack is the link between the throttle shaft and
the arm that controls the enrichment/accel pump rod.  Minor wariations
in thickness are OK as long as you adjust (bend) that rod when you
adjust the carb.

Subject: <VV> Question on YH throttle body clearance

Hello to everyone,
	I am looking for some wisdom from the experts.  First, what is
the
accepted "correct" distance for the separation between the carb/throttle
body on a YH carb ('63 Spyder)?  I have seen a couple of different
setups
(one with two thin gaskets with a spacer in-between, and one with
stacked
thicker gaskets.)  The second question is, How would an increase or
decrease
in this area affect normal street driven performance?

I am currently reassembling my fuel system after a 5 month hiatus due to
a
deployment (Navy), and unfortunately I did not reassemble the carb
before I
left.  Just don't remember the spacing between the two, and seem to be
getting conflicting details/descriptions from the shop manuals and
vendor
catalogs.

Thanks in advance,
Robyn Wood, 
'61 Monza
'63 Spyder Vert
