Repairing Carby Inlet Rubber.
« on: October 08, 2009, 08:00:01 am »
I was thinking of using Super Glue for this repair. Any comments, experiences or suggestions of a better more appropriate glue?

Get a tube of Sikaflex, glue it then put it over a pipe the right diameter, leave it for 24 hours and then very carefully remove it (get something under it to cut it from the pipe). It will stay flexible, superglue goes to hard and the clamp will split it. Cheers John.

I am assuming its off your MX250??
These guys database says they have one for $13.36 US.
Might be worth a try.

Edit: also these guys but they want a little more
