Intake Boot Repair - Bicycle Inner Tube Bandages

Here’s an inexpensive repair for your cracked intake manifold boots.

1. Get a bicycle inner tube
2. Cut 4 sections just the width of the intake boot
3. Use a paper hole punch to create a hole for the vacuum port-- obviously measuring how far in from the edge you need to be....
4. Slather the whole boot exterior with the rtv
5. Slide the inner tube onto the boot to create a
"Bandage"
6. Do the other 3

Now, re-install the carbs and see if there's any difference.
