carb boots normally hard as a rock?

21 Jul 2010 08:04 - 21 Jul 2010 08:04

I hate working on my carbs because the damn boots are so hard to get on and off.

Are they normally very hard to work with or are they so old they have become fossilized :laugh: ?

New ones are very pliable and easy to work with. Z1E sells them. Ed

Take the bolts out of the battery box, it gives you a little more room which is a huge help. Theres no way around the hard boots Im afraid, some people try a hair dryer
