Jeb Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hi, My airbox rubbers are pretty hard, I've read a mixture of rubbing alcohol and wintergreen oil will soften them. Anyone used this or have any other suggestions? Cheers Quote Link to comment
Blubber Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I used my credit card and bought new ones for my 1135, was tired of the fiddling. Only months later i bought RS36 and sold the set. 2 Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hot air gun, makes them nice and soft for you to get the carbs in, they will go hard again (without using the little blue pill ) 1 Quote Link to comment
rodneya Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Wintergreen only makes them soft for a while, then they go hard again Quote Link to comment

Ivan Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Lamp oil also softens but makes it also bigger Quote Link to comment

Physician Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Some boils them in water. Dont know how much it last. I usually replaced with new ones, less fiddling and cracking.. Quote Link to comment
