Frequently Asked Questions
The carburetor boot is a rubber connector that seals the intake tract between the carburetor and the engine's intake port. It prevents vacuum leaks and ensures proper fuel-air mixture delivery.
Signs include: rough idle, vacuum leaks (hissing sounds), visible cracks or deterioration in the rubber, fuel smell near the intake area, or difficulty starting. Rubber boots typically degrade over 10-20 years.
K&L part numbers are typically model-specific. The 11-3638 fits particular year/make/model combinations. Verify compatibility before purchasing—using the wrong boot can cause vacuum leaks and running issues.
K&L Supply manufactures OEM-equivalent replacement parts. This boot should be a direct fit replacement for the original equipment, though fitment varies by specific motorcycle model.
Rubber boots typically last 10-20 years depending on climate, UV exposure, and fuel type. Ethanol-blended fuels can degrade rubber faster. Regular inspection is recommended.
