Intake tubes?

[Guest]

Not sure what they are called , but they are the round black connectors between the carb and the head. I noticed mine are cracked in places and I don' think that is good. I read somewhere in this forum about something u can put on them for the short term to seal them somewhat till I can get them replaced. I have to believe they are sucking air.

Actually, those are a double wall component. Very common for the exterior to look like world war three has commenced, and yet the inner wall is fine. If you think you have a vacuum leak through them, spray carb cleaner on them with the bike running, or wave an unlit propane torch around them. If they are leaking, the engine idle will jump.

If they are not leaking, alot of folks use an spray on RTV or paint on RTV to reseal them and make them look nicer.
