Hey all,
Anyone have a source for good vacuum caps? The ones I have been using are supposedly heat resistant, but crack within weeks so I'm constantly replacing them. Looking for durable ones, or good hose I can use to connect the nipples.
Thanks!

Auto parts store? I got some at Home Depot that have held up for years. Maybe you got a bad batch. Really bad.

Yeah, there was some talk about that a while back, never heard back any real results. If it was not for having to access the port to sync. the carbs, seems like just pluggin' up the one closest to the head would be a permanent fix.
Just ponderin' man , thank you sir guru !
