DSS aftermarket carb/air box rubbers
AshimotoK0:
I would have offered to treat them for you, like I have done for others, in my magic brew but the 400/4 ones have rubber to metal bonding that can break down. Dunno about thinners , the stuff I use is proper rubber industry industrial stuff.

ref price for cellulose thinners .. try Wilko ... small bottles .. I used 2
Mr-Gear:
Thanks for the constructive feedback guys,
I shall have a crack at it this weekend as my trusted workhorse fuel hose has cracked weather permitting. I'll try Wilko for the thinners and post an update at some point
Thanks

Thinners with wintergreen oil in it.
The thinners sofen them up and the wintergreen oil is absorbed into the rubber.
As the thinners evaporates it leaves the oil behind.
I have soaked mine for a couple of days, they do expand but don't panic as they shrink again as the thinners evaporates.
Dave487:
I buy thinners from the local car paint supplier (Central Car Paints) about £16 for 5 litres and use it for all sorts of cleaning jobs. Don't know a supplier of Wintergreen though.
