Ok well carb arrived and it looks clean and in great condition. Well except the cable has been charged through the plastic which I thought odd for a 2017. No matter. Back home calipers to the ready. Yup, inlet and airbed boot measure the same. . . .

Except the length is 16mm shorter 75 vs 91mm.

Bugger. Well it was a risk.

So in an ideal world I'd order up a longer airbox boot and be done. In a less ideal but still workable scenario I'd find a longer inlet rubber. That would lose the advantages of a shorter carb but I'd be no worse off than std really.

I'll go looking for one but I'd not hold out my chances.

The part number for the inlet rubber changes. Mine is about 34mm long.
How long are later ones? 50mm?

The next question. Perhaps the 2015,16,17 ones are shorter than the first AS2s hence different part number.

So if you have an earlier AS2 can you rough measure ? The AS1 has like space between the throttle slide tunnel and the airboot (or inlet) where you can squeeze your finger. The 17 carb is about only 6mm.

I have one other higher risk idea.
