Ray Von Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I've read all sorts about refurbing the intake carb manifold rubbers with some type of oil, does it work, i'm having a bit of trouble with airleaks on the VF500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudgetBoy Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Wintergreen oil (Amazon/healthstore) and xylene (paint store). Soak the parts for approx 12 hours,it will rehydrate the rubber. if on the other hand you have splits in the rubber then id silicone the gap.

ssray Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Wintergreen oil in water, heat to boiling, but keep the rubber parts off of the bottom of the saucepan you are using Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
