carb rubbers.

You know the rubbers that hold the carbs on to a bike engine?

Do you have to use engine specific rubbers or could you use, say, sillicone hose?

Cheers

Chris

You should, in theory, use flouro lined silicone hose if you do as normal silicone isnt fuel proof.

However normal silicone hose will do if you have nothing else. Just dont expect it to last forever. But then with the mileages these cars do its probably never going to be an issue....

I have blue silicon on mine. Its discoloured but still good condition otherwise and mine was just slinging fuel in and spitting back through the carbs before i sorted it. I think thats why its discoloured.
