Carb inlet manifold rubbers
rosco:
Just got my inlet rubbers back from Ash who has softened them Now I've come to fit them and noticed there are two different types ( didnt notice when taking them off DOH ) Two marked 1&4 Two marked 2&3 Obviously to fit each cylinder Question is are the numbers fitted uppermost on the corresponding cylinder IE cylinder No 1 mark 1 to top mark 4 bottom cylinder No2 2 to top 3 to bottom ETC Ive searched all service manuals and nothing on removing / refitting Cheers Ross
Nurse Julie:
Yes Ross, 1,2,3,4 uppermost from left to right whilst sitting on the bike.
rosco:
Thanks Julie It seemed logical but not certain due to the shapes being different I have fitted them to the carbs and they look right Ref your carb screws Yes Gerben has fitted 12mm plus washer to mine Cheers Ross
Andrew-S:
As Julie says, plus I believe these are rare original fitment as the 'new OE' ones supplied by DS (and others) are un-numbered.

On this topic: i recently got a set of (non-OE) replacements for my 400f. These are all 4 the same. They're <35 GPB for a set of 4, so the price is attractive enough.,,
I already pointed out to the (english) ebay seller, that the fitment is not ideal. He responded that he's sold over 200 sets, and they work fine.
My conclusion is: yes they work, but they don't work very well. It takes a lot of force to install the carbs all the way, even though the rubber is nice and soft.
Anyone have experience with this?
