Hi, I'm the new owner of a 1997 gs500. It does not run. I was told it needed " carb work" anyway I have noticed the rubber manifold boots are cracked. I can't afford new ones right now and was wondering if I could use some sort of sealer temporarly? If yes what type? Thanks

Jump on this one: 2 available at $12 each

I assume you mean the ones from the carbs to the engine.

If air box to carbs, those are cheap. usually buy an air box for $15 or so and they are on it.

Hey Thanks Adidasguy I bought them.
I don't know how I missed them as I looked on ebay this afternoon.All I saw was a new set for $125. Sure do like this forum.
