Carb Intake Boots

gtotiger1 · Mar 12, 2012

Hey guys , I believe I need to change the 4 carb intake boots on my '88, they're still original, while I can't seem to find any vacuum leaks on them with the spray test , the bike seems to act like it has a small one, I have noticed some seapage around them , particularly near the carb bases. My questions are do I need to or should I change the vboost cross over boots too? and if so where can I get a reasonable price on these parts , and do I need to remove the Intake manifols to change the VBoost rubbers, and would I need any gasket for the intake manifolds also?

I think I might have some brand new lower boots I never used, let me check to make sure when I get home from work. If I still have them they are yours if you need them.

That would be awsome, thanks let me know.

The vboost boots do require 2 manifolds to be removed. New o-rings are cheap enough. I change them out when doing boots. Also, some of the manifold bolts need sealer on the threads. Out side ones if I remember right. The threads go right through on some of them. I'm sure Sean has all you need.
