airbox/carb and carb/manifold rubbers
Mikep328:
Those rubber parts on my 400 are quite hard, more like plastic than rubber. Is that normal? The airbox is a DS replacement from 2018, I don't know about the age of the manifold/carb rubbers. The clamps, which appear to be original, have to be closed to the maximum to apply decent pressure and even then the airbox rubbers can slide on the carbs if pushed/pulled in/out.
I see that the manifold to carb rubbers are available at DS but I don't see the airbox/carb rubbers available. Is there a source for them other than DS?
Athame57:
I've just finished getting a set of them. They weren't on their website so I phoned in about them and they had them, maybe they are slow updating their site. I think they described them as 'carb to manifold rubbers' though. Note they supply the airbox manifold complete with rubbers, maybe they pinched mine of one of those? ;) The most forward ones are the cylinder head to carb rubbers and seen on their site just now. The manifold to carb are the rear set, note that the airbox has that manifold in between itself and the rubbers!
Mikep328:
Are the new ones supple/rubbery as opposed to hard, plastic-like?
Related to carburation...I've also been kicking around the thought of velocity stacks though I have read all the posts re the difficulty (impossibility?) of getting the fueling correct to run well with them. If I decided to try a set, what size/where can they be obtained?

Not certain on the 400 ,but the airbox to carb rubber are velocity stacks,
Lovely opening shape,
The outer ones are handed,
With a proper way to fit them
