Gretings All, I have tried (with out success) to find the information for replacement intake manifold O-rings. I am not talking about OEM, but a different type that is a much better quality O-ring. I replaced mine years ago and no fuel leak stains since, but I have a friend that needs his replaced also and looking for the information. Does anyone have this info? Thanks in advance Charles  |

If mail order isn't fast enough, the size is a #123 and get Viton or silicone. A local hydraulic supply should have it.

Seeing that this is the best source for the 3 O rings needed for rear spline maintenance (they have a 15 o ring pack good for 5 rear changes) they also sell the intake O rings. I bought a set of each, good folks to deal with, good products. http://www.carolinabikeandtrike.com/ORings.htmFred. |

...Im in need of these also and was worried about taking the entire carb assembly off and then bolting it back on. Then I saw a guy on the FaceBook VRCC site, that took the front and back intakes off and left the carb assembly on, with only the middle intakes and I got the Idea to do this to replace the O Rings. Anyone else done this, or know of a better way without removing the carbs ?  |

Also, while you're in the area, make sure all three hose clamps are tight on each intake (yes, there are 3 on each one). |

That job shouldn't take more than 20 minutes...just make sure not to over-tighten the intake bolts...they only need 6.5 lbf-ft.

Do all three on one side but don't tighten any of the bolts or clamps until you have all three back in place and then tighten.

Do one whole side at a time, loosen the runner nuts enough to raise all three runners up at once about 1/8 inch. Use a dental pick to pull the o ring out. Put a little grease for lube on the new o rings and slip them under the raised runners. Position with the dental pick and lower the runners, the lube helps the o ring seat in the groove....
