peterb1951 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Hi Has anybody out there had any luck repairing the carb mounting rubbers on their machines, I tried the old tip (which I think I found on this site) of spraying the rubbers with WD40 and noticed a dramatic change to the engine running for a few seconds, new ones are about £100 a set and its a big slice out of my budget and I think second hand will be all about the same condition for a 1989 XJ600. Think I have seen somewhere a repair with silicone and a cycle tube but not sure this is an effective repair and probably will not last very long, any hints or tips please would be appreciated Peter
Moderator Airhead Posted June 6, 2012 Moderator Posted June 6, 2012 Peter, not familiar with the bike but are they entirely rubber and fixxed at both ends by circular clips, or are they bonded to a metal plate where they meet the cyl head and thus bolted there ?
peterb1951 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 I believe the ones on mine are flanged at cyl head end and clips at carb end but looking on Ebay there are some for sale item number 160804422402 but even those are £60 with no guarantee they are 100% good.
