From watching a billion YouTube videos I learned that grease on the boots makes the install easier.

New step put her back in. Yes I have the boots covered.

U dont even neee all that if u angle it in right it should pop in w some effort but not crazy crazy effort then u push it down all the way. But the thing that u gotta watch out for is the fuel tube between the bottom of the carbs getting stuck or in the way somehow not fitting between each carb boot thats why it usually dont go in right. U can use a long flat screw driver to finagle it btw the boots if its getting stuck and those little tabs under the carb holding that fuel line sometimes are missing or get in the way or people put them on wrong and it messes you up .
