So i pulled my carbs off again today to adjust float height and couldn't get the buggers back on. i can't get the intake boots onto the intakes themselves. no matter how much i wiggle or how much weight i put on it. i ran out of light before i got them back on.
anyone got any tips? the only thing i can think of is a little motor oil on the lip of the boot to help it slide on.
and yes the clamps are loosened
thanks guys

Actually do both, and if you can put a cold/ice pack over the portion they are going on to.
The rubbers first warm them up with a hair dryer or more carefully with a heat gun, then spray the piss out of them with WD-Fix-Me-40 as well as the intakes the rubbers are receiving and then they'll slide on just like Butta.

Yes Yes I know, I said, I'm building a project YZF1070
Basement is done now, 850 finished and gone...
Gotta get the new siding up on the house.
Fixing the FZ1 up, cleaning up garage and then I might even begin

I find it's easiest to boil the kettle, pour it into a bowl, and
soak the parts in it for a few minutes. That warms them up good
and no danger of melting them. Also use something to lube the lips of
the intakes or the rubbers, I normally use a thin smear of grease.
