83 Maxin Carb Intake Boots?

[Lanyard Stretcher]

My Maxim has deteriorating carb intake boots. How do I remove them? What are my options?

are you talking about these things?

No, I need the boots that go to the airbox side. Mine are crumbling away.

Thanks for the response,

Mike

do you mean these? this is the other side of the carby. Getting the airbox out process is a pain the the ass but I dont think there is a procedure. I just kept turning and twisting it and using words that begin with C and F but eventually it did come out. The rubber connectors just detach.

I believe those are the boots. Mine are deteriorated and torn, and are leaking air. Where can I get some new ones? My search has produced little.

Its part number is 2L0-14453-00-00, at least from my part catalogue and a quick search turns up some slightly different ones to the ones in my attic.
