Carburettor rubber boot

Post by Mr Bonehead »

Hi all,looking for recommendations for gt 750 air box to carburettor rubber boots,after 8 yrs parked in front of a sunny window one has gone like plastic,seen them on eBay but as I only need one I can't justify the rocking horse poo prices,managed to soften the other two with alcoholic vinegar but can't wait the 10 yrs for it to work on the remaining one.
Cheers and hope you get out of lockdown for Christmas Mr B

That doesn't sound right. Unless you got a different airbox than the rest of the world.
