Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

snap, i ALWAYS refer to the front of the carb as the engine side, purely because it is at the FRONT!

While that makes sense as far as bike orientation. The air enters carbs from the back side of the bike orientation. And every thing exits to the engine. So it makes sense to me.
I was told the FWD on the fiches meerly points to the direction of the front of the bike..not necessarily the front or back of any particular part.
Nomenclature... intriguing.
Perhaps this should become a poll.
I do see both sides of the proverbial coin (or carbs) here. Maybe "engine facing" vs. "crotch facing" ?(Sorry for the thread hijack, Slycox... but, good to see you're installing the cover. I noticed a couple variants on the design re CV carbs; some have plates, some have wire keepers, and some have nada.)

its down to personal preference i think. there is no right or wrong. the front wheel is at the front of the bike, the front of the carb is facing the front of the bike. yes, the air enters the carb at the rear,but does that make the entrance the front or the back?
Ever heard the phrase " entering through the back door"?
ps. when i was researching and rebuilding my VM29SS, and converting them to TM33's the removable plate on the intake side of the carb has always been referred to as the "back plate"

It's all good, I got my answer and I find this discussion interesting so I'm not bothered by it
To me..and i agree with what i was told...the FWD points to the front of the bike. The picture of the carbs is simply oriented to show its placement on the bike..not that the rear of the carbs is the front.
