Project Scrappy Hyosung stalled

[pepperami]

Well with a lot of help from people who know a lot more than I do about bikes, ‘Project Scrappy Hyosung’ is making good progress.
However we seem to have reached a difficult patch that could stall the project for a long time.

It’s a carbed version of a Hyosung GT125r and the rubber inlet manifolds are fo*ked!
I’ve done all the research on the net? I think I have??, but I just can’t find anything without it costing more than the entire project is worth.

What I’m asking the mighty and wise BCF is : does anyone know of any sites/retailers that might be able to help me please?
Or does anyone have a scrapper living in thier back garden?

Any photos of the parts? Someone might go "that vaguely looks like an XYZ..." a bit of duct tape and a sharp knife, job's a good'un.

<edit> These?

The rear looks very similar to a scooter intake rubber

Alpha sports.com came up on a quick Google search, but you have full bike details, do some More research.

If those above are the correct parts, how much do they cost ?

I suspect the ones on the bike are split and perished, leaking air in ?

A temporary fix is super glue, but only a temp fix to allow the engine to run.

Ok, a bit pricey, but if that's how much theyCost new, then that's how much they cost.

Post some pictures on the ones on your bike, and does the engine run ?

If it does run, and seems to rev ok, but will not pull the skin off a rice pudding, check to see if both "carb slides" rise when throttle opened ?

They have a rubber diaphragm.

As you've found, they're hens teeth. You can get them from Korea, or off a breaker (Startrite etc), those are your options.

I know a lad with a few twins, I sold him the rat (Single, not twin), I'll see if he has any for sale.

You aint put up no pitchers av ya?

I've fixed cracked CX inlet rubbers with heat shrink that worked fine
but that is only good for straight runs
If they're split where they clamp or on a bend that's another process
In the abcess of new or decent second hand ones, I'd be looking at
the feasabilty of making one/some

this engine has them and the breaker might flog em to you
if you ask nicely

If the pics are correct the shape, plus the ports/spigots make sleeving very tricky.
If a repair is a consideration I'd not advise trying super glue or any old adhesive until you know what type of material they're made from
as you might contaminate them and compromise further repairs.

I'll guess they're nitrile maybe butyl or a rubber variety
silicon is bit soft for that job
I'd clean and de grease the feck out of them first and once the material
has been established/guessed, do a small test bond on a non critical area
to see if you get good results

worst case, you might remove the airbox and save it for the day you can score some new rubbers. then install a K&N universal filter as a temporary fix.

No, inlet rubbers. They don't get that hot, quite the reverse in fact! An old engine will rely on the temperature drop of the vaporising petrol to help cool the engine. Fuel doesn't just go bang

Plenty more bodge available though How about a tube of silicone gasket? Might last a bit longer than the superglue fix as it's more flexible.

Many thanks for the input lads
Mr Forte, I might give that breaker a call about the rubbers on the engine, you never know?

How about some moulded hose from the car world, or steel pipe and rubber cuffs, it's a scrappy field bike or going in the road, lots of ideas so a substitute possible...

3d printing, petrol proof material ???

I wound self-amalgamating rubber tape around my splitting XJ550 inlet rubbers - really, this stuff is mustard, and a must-have in every tool-box.
