rubber intake boots, which way up

[DaveWatts]

Hi

Just a quicky, I am refitting my carbs and replaced the boots, They can go either way up, I am guessing that the letter (L and R) is facing up when replacing (so I think the thicker bit is at the bottom), is that correct?

Although looking at this post it looks like the writing is upside down, therefore the letter is on the bottom. looks like I've done it wrong

Letters face up and L/R are in relation to a sitting rider. Two L and two R per set. It's obvious once you get them on. The left and right boots lean inward.

Yep, letters on top. It's sort of a universal engineering standard. If there's a letter, arrow, or mark on a part, it goes up or forward.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up, now just waiting for various sizes of black rubber tube to arrive :-)
