I maybe wrong, but there seems to be some type of blockage there.

Go to Basscliffe website and download the manual for your bike would be the best advice I can give. Find a link on the homepage I believe.

You've got it right Jorgen - that odd little lip thing goes on the bottom side.

Seems to me that the yellow device (whatever it is) would alter airflow just enough to require different jetting.

That yellow thing appears to be gasket material, waiting to be cut properly.

I think that device help's to atomize any fuel that would end up near that area.
I think it might be a dead air zone and that lip helps to promote airflow over it to pick up any fuel that settles in the bottom.

Well, until it's cut, it is going to require some re-jetting.

Hello Guys and thanx for the answers about that "lip thing".
I was not sure if that was the correct mount up!
The yellow is a plastic sheet with textiles in the back just to prevent dirt to getin to the engine!
Merry Christmas to you all and a happy NEW year!
Cheers Jorgen

Back in the day,'82-'83,I asked our Suzi service rep what those little cast-in things were. He said that they held back excess fuel after a hard stop. Well, since then, I've ground most all of them out of the ones that went through my possession with no adverse affects.
Now, I think maybe they were there to add turbulence for better mixing/atomization at lower speeds. Because those old 450 carbs were a bit crude. I like the first gen 500 carbs.

Do you think of the ones from 89- 500 carbs then?
