    Hello.
    My TE250-2008 has a problem that the intake rubber that fits the carburator (injector) to the cylinder head is dry and the carb tends to slip out of the rubber.
    Anyone know if there is a way to refresh this rubber or if I should replace it?
    regards

    Replace it is the easy option. Had the same problem on a 2012 Gasgas. Because of lack of time I needed to aolve the problem fast. I bought a 50mm NBR rubber hose (inner dia same as carb). Made my own manifold in aluminum. Made a 4-5mm thick PVC washer with same inner dia as carb, fitted inside the hose between the carb and the manifold. You can also buy the same intake rubber but you still need to make the manifold. The rubber looks like this http://www.slipstreamhover.com/product_p/prt-eng-dir-rotaxintakeboot.htm?CartID=1

    Sorry I cant explain better. This intake rubber is used on plenty of snowmobiles and old mx bikes.
