inlet rubbers

[rossi46]

Hi, going to change the inlet rubbers, both sides of throttle body, any tips before I wade in hamfisted?

[gstallons]

use a vegetable oil cooking spray to make the throttle bodies slide into the rubber easier.

Sooo how did it go?? I've got this task on My "To Do" list.

Or better yet, silicone spray: slipperier than PAM, and a rubber preservative instead of a vegetable oil that will just get all gummy when it dries out...

Also - I have found a chap - Mark Hemmingway at Rockingham Classics and Sports, who have parts catalogues for all Guzzi models and orders direct from the Guzzi factory apprently.

 

Anyway, he is a nice bloke and the rubbers are about £11 each I think.

 

Thanks
