    How much of a gap is there? If it's more than like 1/32" you should probably just use a reducer.

    A round file would be faster. And a dremel type thing with a metal cutting bit would be faster still.

    i could sell you the intake piece i made but it wouldn't be cheap, special aluminum intake piece that attaches to the carb itself. Lots of work in it so it's not something i would just give away.
