Not saying the opinions about Vaseline on carb inlet rubbers are wrong, but whenever I read about how its petroleum based therefore not good on carb rubbers I have to chuckle. These are the carb rubbers, the thing that the petrol goes through.

These are the carb rubbers, the thing that the petrol goes through. I totally get what you're saying, but petrol vapour is sucked through them with vast quantities of air, and chances are with petrol's evaporation rate, they are not in very much contact with petrol, whereas a coating of Vaseline will be permanently in contact with the rubbers, and long term it may be an issue. Given the ludicrous cost of them to start with, my theory is to avoid damaging them as much as possible!
