Initial impression out of the box is that’s a nice part.  Extremely pliable even more than a NOS oem boot.  One concern immediately was the internal diameter on the carburetor side. It was smaller visually looking at it. Putting a scale on it verifies my old eyes lol.

Thanks for sharing, Joe!

You mentioned that it felt more pliable than the NOS OEM boot; even though the carb side diameter is a little smaller, do you think it would stretch over a larger carb (38/39 PWK, for example) more easily than an OEM boot?

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like the oem has a significant radiused edge. Curious to see what the difference between the 2 would be using some inside calipers...or just slap it on a carb

What I’d really like to do is turn some round stock on a lathe to get the true accurate dimensions (for a nice slip fit) but unfortunately I no longer have access to a lathe. So fitting it to some carbs will have to do.  I have some Keihns (up to 40.5).  I also have a Mikuni.

John, this one was purchased from eBay (Race quads for kids).  I still have to post some pics of areas of concern.

I tried the NOS oem vs. reproduction on a 86 atc250r oem carb.  The oem is night and day difference compared to the reproduction.  It’s a chore to fit the reproduction on an oem Keihn PJ carburetor.  Difficult to say the least.
