I need a set of inlet rubbers which seem to be impossible to get?

[Evilchicken0]

flatslides are standard on the later SP models and yes the carb rubbers are impossible to find. stick with CVs

Cheers without the manifold rubbers I think I am stuck!

You're never 'stuck'

Silicone sealant, rubber adhesive and electrician's tape can all be used to diagnose, bodge and repair duff carb rubbers. It's just a case of getting stuck in and doing it and failing that I'm sure something else from something else can be made to work.

Thanks, I have managed to track down some liquid rubber so I am hoping that will help!

Do the rubbers look badly cracked ???
take the carbs off again and have a look at the writing on the edge around the hole. Make a note of it and tell us what you've got.

No they don't look bad to me. Will post what they say!

A import dealer wants to look at it no too far from me, he said anything can be fixed and actually imported fzrs when they came out. I thought of putting a smaller spacer on the clamp so it so I would do up tighter! He said not to do this but what do you guys think?
Thanks
