Motorcycle Repair: 75 XL350 carb loose, honda xl 350, search ebay


Question
I have a 1975 Honda XL 350.  the point where the carburetor feeds into the intake is loose and leaks.  I tightened the clamp all the way, but it's still loose.  is there and adapter I am missing, or is there some easy fix?

Answer
Aaron, your 35 year old rubber manifold has shrunken and hardened to the point of causing air leaks and instability in the mounting of your carburetor. There is no easy fix for this kind of problem. It needs to be replaced.

Search Ebay or the web for a new replacement part or at least a good used on.
