Do you have one or two thick fiber gaskets between the manifold and
head? Should be two.

Zer,
I was talking to Tom about this as he sent pics of his boot to me and I do
see that it smacks right up tight to the airbox. Either my airbox is too
far back or my engine too far forward!! Seriously, I wonder if the inakes
on the ends of the carbs are to short. I got the bike this way from the
Dealer and the previous boot that was on there was also duct taped, a real
mess so I bought a new boot but it was still not right. I will continue to
investigate. Thanks, Bob

Hmm. maybe something is bent somewheres. When I bolt up the airbox the
boot
 is very tight against the airbox.

Zer,
I'll look at my rubber sleeve again but mine is pretty far from the air
box
 
 and is not square to it either. And, I have tried flipping the rubber
sleeve to see if I had it on in reverse. Still askew and too far. But,
something to do during snow days. Thanks. Bob

clear silicon adhesive/sealer. much better. excess can be wiped away
with
a
 finger. and you can barely see any excess anyow.

pull the battery. undo the two bottom bolts on the air cleaner and
just
 
 
 loosent eh top bolt. then you can use your finger to goo the lip of
the
 
 boot
 then swing the cleaner housing back into place and bingo.

Bob,

There is another alternative that you might want to consider. Gary
Cheek
 
 and I have glued the rubber air boot on our bikes to the airbox using
weatherstrip adhesive, and so far it is working quite well. The
biggest
 
 
 
 tricks were getting everything in position prior to applying the
glue,
 
 
 
 and getting the boot and airbox squeeky clean for the adhesive. I had
a
 
 
 
 new boot and a freshly powder coated airbox to work with, so I just
installed the boot, trial fitted the airbox, and cleaned their mating
surfaces with solvent alcohol. The extra glue was removed with a bit
of
 
 
 
 naptha (handwarmer fluid).

I thought about the inner sleeve trick myself, let us know how it
works
 
 
 
 if your decide to go that way.

 Gentlemen,
Currently I have the traditional air cleaner system on my Ambo. ,
the
 
 
 round air filter, inside the metal air box, loosely connected to
the
 
 
 
 
 rubber sleeve going to the carbs. The rubber thingy is connected
with
 
 
 duct tape. Not a good situation. What I want to do is fix the
weak
 
 
 
 
 spot in this system which is the loosely connected rubber sleeve
to
 
 the
 
 
 metal air box. I want to make a metal collar that attaches to the
inside of the metal air box and extends out and into the rubber
sleeve
 
 
 so that I can put a large hose clamp around the rubber sleeve and
cinch
 
 
 it down onto this new extension. Does this make sense? I'd
rather
 
 not
 
 
 throw out the original air box and put on modern filters. Thanks,
Bob
