Hey Guys, i cant get my carbs back on cuz the rubber boots are way to stiff, i saw on another forum that this guy used a rubber renewer, but cant find the stuff anywhere, any suggestions?? This would also be good for all the other rubber parts on the bike when i take it apart. Any links or suggestions of things to use would be great!!

Am guessing NAPA's version of Armoral.
See page 33 of NASA website > BodyPro Rubber Conditioner on page 33
Sometimes heating with a hair dryer temporarily softens the old hardened rubber air intake hoses. Then work fast! :lol:
Good Luck!

I can help you there: soak them in some very hot water for a while and that will soften them up. You can use a small amount of dishwashing liquid to make them slippery on the necessary surfaces.

Buy new ones for rejuventaor just won't do nor will it provide new like condtion for the intake manifolds to properaly seal for ideal/desired/optimum performance in your vacuum/tuning/operations of your carbs....
@ $10 a peice that's $40 plus shipping so lets say $50...
That's 7-8 fast food lunches any longer... If you're a smoker, that's 7 packs of Marlboro's, if you're into good beer, that's 6-6 packs of Fat tire Beer, if you're into fine wine, that's 3-4 bottles, pending the wine of choice that's not even one bottle of fine wine.....
See the pattern here....
Your carbs are such an extremely important part of your motors pereformance, don't go cheap here on this one...
