what carb rubber do people use

[roadrunnerian]

hi
slight problem with ts 1 225 it has a mbd inlet and mikuni tmx 35 carb, the carb falls off when the engine gets hot tried a mbd rubber it split on the manifold side any ideas thanks

this fits a delly 30 (35mm internal diameter) and you can get 4 carb rubbers out of it.don't know what the diameter of yours is but they do all sizes.MAKE SURE IF YOU DO BUY IT TO GET THE FUEL AND OIL HOSE.mate of mines delly spat the MB hose off on the way to IOW last week,had a spare piece of the siliconehose on my scoot,put it on 600+ miles later still good.

PS.don't over tighten it,or any rubber manifold other wise it will split/spit it off

thanks for the quick reply i have ordered some tube like the stuff on e -bay i think i might have over tightened the carb side but when the engine was hot it kept falling off till the engine had cooled down then stayed till i got home 5 miles away.

Look for a way of cable tieing the carb in place with the weight of the carb supported. I've used the water type hose for 3 or 4 years now and it's never come off. Overtightening will force it off though.

Use a Jimmers manifold as the rubber is bolted on so no more worries

hi thanks for the replies Mark whats a jimmers manifold mate

[mark]

Jammers is a member on here who makes them. Pm him

Jimmers is your man, had his 35mm Mikuni manifold / rubber combo on the TS for a while now, no issues. I even ordered a spare rubber just in case which has stayed in the toolbox ever since.

thanks lads

Cheap Vietnamese rubber I bought off Corrado is way way better than all the expensive ones I've had. Nice solid mounting doesn't slip off and strong as hell.
