Is there any sequence that works best? I took off my carbs along time ago and I'm getting ready to put them back on. I vaguely remember having some trouble getting to the bolt heads. Does it make more sense to bolt them on in any particular order? Also, how much torque?

Thanks!

I think the center carb needs to go on first...been awhile for me too.

Sorry, no clue on 'torque' setting. I just tighten them snug with a 1/4" drive. I don't remember any order being best but, you have to tip the center carb. a little in to place with both end ones on. Just tighten all 12 hold down bolts before you put the 'stock' fuel lines on.

I've done mine a dozen times at least....you can start with the rear and then the center and the front in that order. Tighten them down "snug" with a 1/4" drive 1/2" socket.
As said, the center carb WILL go on with the end ones mounted...just a little tricky as you have to wiggle and tilt it just right to slip between the end carbs.
