I'm looking for a set of the carburetor boots for the 71 xs1b. One of mine is starting to crack a bit and mikes doesn't carry them...
Anybody have a solution?
Thanks
Taylor

I was going to ask the same question in reference to my '73; I plan on doing a preemptive change in the near term. I'm sure that any information would be appreciated by Taylor and me, at the very least.
Thanks!

I wonder about some of that liquid rubber stuff they use to coat tool handles or even a good silicon rubber RTV like permatex makes......

You know... that might be a great fix! Seems viable to me! You'd coat the outside diamater, I suppose?

Could you do the inside aswell so that it would tighten up the fitting?

I know of the product, have used it before, but never on rubber, it might work. It's called Plasti Dip. Available at plastic supplie stores, some auto stores. Worth the try, about $24.00 for the dip can last time I saw it. Good luck !

chef, what was the resolution to this? I'd like to replace mine, too, to eliminate a possible leak source, but can't find boots for my '73. I was wondering if this worked, or if the holders for the '74 and up would fit if we used vacuum blind plugs.

I tryed a product called seal-all that is gas and oil resistant and just coated the inside of the holder and let it dry a little and then tested my bike again but my plug was still blackened.
I took the whole bloot off my engine and inspected it and It didn't look like there were any cracks on the inside portion of the boot...
I think that my leak might be coming from the flot bowl gasket because one of the screws holes that keep it on are severly stripped which probably reduces the seal....... I need to re-tap the hole and get it fixed I think.

Signs of a leak in the manifolds would be a white plug, if the boots are leaking, you'd be leaning out, extra air.

Meh... see, in my case, I've never had a white plug. If anything, my plugs are dark, though I have never done an actual chop, and my bike was getting a lot of idle/tuning time. I have stock jetting, pods. Bike pulls hard and runs well, except for the schizo idle.

hmm, that's weird.
I used to have an extremely black plug on the right cylinder and i tracked that to a little tear in my carburetors diaphragm...
...changed the diaphragm and that right side is fine.
What could be the problem for this left side then if all my assumptions lead to it being too lean instead of rich?

Diaphragm is a different matter to manifolds, if a manifold leaks, it sucks air into the air/fuel mixture being delivered to the cylinder.
If a diaphragm leaks, the slide doesn't operate as it should, a certain amount of fuel still makes it through, but the air supply is greatly reduced, resulting in a rich mixture, blackening the plugs.
