  • butterfly shaft seals

    Hey guys, I disassembled and cleaned a set of 81 xs11 carbs. I've done several. Upon testing on the bike, can't get it to idle, the butterfly shaft seals leak, I sprayed starting fluid on them, bike reves up. The rubber carb boots are new. So I bought new seals from XSMikes, seem to fit good, but still have same problem. Thought about putting grease on them when installing to seal them, but thought the gas would just dissolve it. Any suggestions to get them to seal, what do you guys do or use. Thanks Red Bandit
