I installed reed cage and manifold with a few bolts to make a test run for how things will 
fit and to check clearances.


The first thing I noticed was the bracket that holds vent line will hit on the terminal for
the starter (Yellow arrow) I can relocate the bracket and vent line to the rear of the carb no
big deal (Green Arrow) It looks tight in the picture but there is enough clearance where the 
blue Arrow is pointing.

Since the manifold is straight you will come up short at the air box connection, I will tighten
the carb at the manifold connection then take a bungee cord and pull the carb over to the right
and make the air box connection. (Yellow arrow)


Below left is the material needed to be remove from the stuffer on the 88 CR250 reed cage, 
middle is a stock 89 Pilot stuffer, right is a 90 Pilot reed cage with my modified stuffer, 
the stock 90 Pilot reed cage stuffer is almost exactly like the middle stuffer.


If the stuffer is not mated to the new manifold with a dremel tool or file you will create a lot of 
turbulence and more than likely loose power using the straight manifold, here is 2 after dremel
pictures the match is almost perfect.


Ok now we have the manifold matching the reed cage time to make the manifold match the 
carb, the 2 green arrows point to the places it needs a little flow matching, there is no fight 
making the 39mm carb fit into the manifold like the stock Pilot manifold.
