redtractor:
I used the Wintergreen/Isopropyl method on my carb rubbers ant it worked a treat!

Underdog1:
I used wintersgreen and alcohol to soften carb boots too, worked a treat. I put them in a ziploc bag with the mix overnight.

Found that wintersgreen is expensive to buy in the U.K. (still a lot cheaper than buying new rubber bits though) - does anyone have a source for buying a decentish amount of the stuff (500ml+)?

Raymond_Y:
You can soak hard inlet rubbers in brake fluid and that will soften them.  Only problem is it takes a very long time.  You need to leave them soaking for several weeks, but it does work.

Nurse Julie:
They go very hard and brittle again very quickly after soaking in brake fluid.
