Title: Wanted: Air Filter Box with Air Cleaner Tube Outlets
Post by: utgunslinger13 on June 08, 2010, 02:07:29 PM
I'm looking for an air box with the tube outlets that connect to the carbs.  Mine are so old and brittle I can't get the tube outlets to seal properly on the carbs.  Willing to look at just the tube outlets if you have those seperate!

Please make sure they are in good condition and are supple enough to actually clamp onto and seal against the carbs!

Thanks,

Nick

Is it just the stock airbox you are looking for?

did you try heating them with a heat-gun, or hairdryer?  I used to have to do that before I switched to a lunchbox

No, my airbox is fine.  Its the black rubber pieces that connect the airbox to the carbs.  The rubber is hard and looks like they've been smashed in the past.  No matter what I do, those boots do not seal properly on the carbs and they are allowing air to sneak in without going through the filter.

I don't technically need the box, but I wasn't sure if someone would be willing to part with just the black boots/outlets/thingies.
