bracket (see illustration).
12Lift the inlet manifold from the cylinder
head, and recover the gasket (see
illustration).
13If desired, the carburettor can be removed
from the inlet manifold by unscrewing the
securing nuts or screws. Refer to the relevant
Section describing carburettor removal and
refitting. Recover the gasket.
Refitting
14Refitting is a reversal of removal bearing
in mind the following points.
15Ensure that all mating faces are clean.
16Renew the gasket(s), and apply a bead of
sealant at least 5.0 mm (0.2 in) wide around
the central coolant aperture on both sides of
the manifold-to-cylinder head gasket.
17Tighten the manifold securing nuts and
bolts progressively to the specified torque,
ensuring that the engine lifting bracket is in
place.
18Make sure that all hoses, pipes and wires
are correctly reconnected, and if the fuel
supply hose was originally secured with a
crimped type clip, discard this and use a new
worm drive clip on refitting.
19On completion, refill the cooling system,
adjust the throttle cable and check and if
necessary adjust the idle speed and mixture.

Removal
20Disconnect the battery negative lead.
21Partially drain the cooling system.
22Remove the air cleaner.
23Disconnect the coolant hoses from the
thermostat housing and the inlet manifold,
noting their locations to assist with refitting.
24Disconnect the fuel supply and return
hoses from the carburettor. Plug their ends to
minimise petrol spillage.
25Release the coolant hose from the bracket
under the automatic choke housing.
26Disconnect the HT leads from the spark
plugs, and move them to one side.
27Disconnect all relevant wiring and vacuum
pipes from the carburettor, thermostat
housing and inlet manifold, noting the
locations as an aid to refitting.
28Disconnect the crankcase breather hose
from the inlet manifold. 29Disconnect the throttle cable from the
throttle linkage.
30Make a final check to ensure that all
relevant wires, pipes and hoses have been
disconnected to facilitate removal of the
manifold.
31Unscrew the ten bolts and two nuts
securing the manifold to the cylinder head.
32Lift the manifold clear of the cylinder
head. Recover the gasket.
33Recover the two plastic spark plug
spacers from the recesses in the cylinder
head.
34If desired, the carburettor can be removed
from the manifold by unscrewing the securing
screws. Refer to the carburettor removal and
refitting Sections as necessary.
Refitting
35Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing
in mind the following points.
36Ensure that all mating faces are clean.
37Ensure that the spark plug spacers are in
position in the cylinder head recesses before
refitting the manifold.
38Renew all gaskets.
39Tighten all manifold securing nuts and
bolts progressively to the specified torque.
40Make sure that all hoses, pipes and wires
are securely reconnected in their original
positions.
41On completion, refill the cooling system.
Check the adjustment of the throttle cable.
Check, and if necessary adjust, the idle speed
and mixture.
CVH models
Removal
42Proceed as described in paragraphs 1 to
3 inclusive.
43Disconnect the coolant hoses from the
automatic choke, thermostat housing and
inlet manifold, noting their locations for use
when refitting.
44Disconnect the fuel supply hose at the
carburettor and plug the end to minimise
petrol spillage.
45Disconnect all relevant wiring and vacuum
pipes from the carburettor, thermostat
housing and inlet manifold, noting the
locations as an aid to refitting.
46Disconnect the throttle cable from the
throttle linkage.
47Unbolt the dipstick tube from the inlet
manifold and withdraw the dipstick and
dipstick tube from the cylinder block.
48Unscrew the seven nuts securing the
manifold to the cylinder head, then lift the
manifold from the cylinder head, and recover
the gasket.
49If desired, the carburettor can be removed
from the manifold by removing the securing
screws. Recover the insulator block (see
illustrations).
50The carburettor intermediate plate can be
removed from the manifold by unscrewing the
three securing screws. Recover the gasket.
51If necessary, the thermostat and housing
can be removed from the manifold.
