Looking for a up-rated carb mounting rubber for a TMX 35mm.
Last one lasted 2000 Miles
I think the drive to Spain has cooked it.
Whats best a trip to the auto repair shop for a rubber pipe or a made for the job item.

I like the radiator hose tubing with the fibre threads running throught it, seems 10 times stronger than most specific carb rubbers on the market.

They are very good and they don't split like the rubber ones, but I've had one of those start to delaminate on my Lambretta as well. Not sure if being constantly sprayed with fuel from the spitback out of the carb and the overflows will have helped it, but best to carry a spare around with you anyway...
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"
