Frequently Asked Questions
Signs include visible cracks, tears, hardening/brittleness, vacuum leaks causing rough idle, or fuel leaking from the carburetor area. A cracked boot disrupts the air-fuel mixture.
K&L 11-4168 is designed for specific applications. Verify your carburetor type and intake manifold diameter match this part number before purchasing.
Temporary repairs with silicone sealant may work short-term, but replacement is recommended for proper sealing and engine performance.
Age, heat exposure, UV damage, fuel contact, and vibration cause rubber deterioration. Boots typically last 5-10 years depending on storage and use conditions.
Not necessarily, but it's recommended to minimize fuel spillage. Turn off the fuel valve and let the carburetor drain slightly before removal.
