Why would you take the plenum off to remove the TB? If it's the TB that faces sideways it comes off with the 4 bolts.

 

That's an answer I was looking for. Might you have some advice on how to remove the exhaust tube from the elbow? I've used a pick tool to break the seal but could use some input on this if you have. Thanks much. Greatly appreciated

 

Large pick tool and wd40

 

Thanks very much. Have a great day!

 

your welcome.

 

All set..and thank you.

do you have water lift mufflers? I always leave the elbow at the muffler end on, and just pull it out of the water lift tank. Then, I twist on the elbow, and it comes right off. With V-Drives, the engines face backwards, so the exhaust tube IS in the way of just pulling the TB flame arrestor, and then then the throttle assembly off easily. I just replaced mine, but the Plenum was off for other reasons, so I didn't have to remove the exhaust tube. It's one or the other with Horizon inboards and V-Drives.

Thank you. Next question. When reinstalling the throttle body, does the gasket get installed as is or with some type of liquid gasket or similar? Thank you

 

Good advice Cliff, best of luck brother.

 

Any gasket adhesive or similar when reinstalling throttle body? Thx

 

Dry works

 

Meaning none? Or is that the name of a product. Sorry, I live in a literal world. Measure twice..cut once. Thx

 

None
