Whats the melting point on this stuff? Any chance it might melt off and make a mess on a hot day?

 

You don't use enough to make a mess even if it does melt.

 

Also good for "fixing" coils that go bad when it rains!

There are a quite a few XJs in New Zealand that have carb diaphragms repaired with YamaBond. Dave Jackson has repaired a few this way over the years.

I really don't know alot about bikes but I'm learning as I go. So here's my question, are you talking about using this stuff on cracked carb boots?

 

Re: Manifold Leaks - Diaphragm Leaks - Repaired! by RickCoM

Intake Manifold = Carb Boots

Yes this stuff can be used to seal the cracks on carb boots.

 

Yesser!

I did a "Cosmetic" application on my bike. Looks like I have new manifolds on it.
