Any one got any spare carb. rubbers, the ones that hold the carbs to the manifold, or any suggestions.

Ab performance are your best bet, but those rubbers are like hens teeth.

You can buy them from a Honda dealer but they are a bit pricey. I have used silcone hose on mine but I understand that if it is not specifically designed for petrol it will disintegrate eventually.

I have a spare set - currently attached to an airbox. Steve's (Steve Hignett) got them at the mo but I'll drop him a line and see if he can mail them on to you?

Cheers

Can be very fast, matey was sold some which he used as fuel hose on a RS500, killed his pump within an hour. Guess it was constantly immersed in petrol but just not worth the risk. I think the fuel resistant one is fluoro something lined?
