Do these boots look bad?

Buy a new fuel petcock if it's leaking. Mine failed over the winter in storage and drained my entire gastank into the engine. When it comes to fuel, get a new one

Also, you can tell if your intakes are leaking by letting the bike idle and spraying some ether around the seals. If the bike revs up on it's own, you have a leak.

I bought all the parts (boots, orings, and petcock) from bike bandit.com. Total was around $160 after shipping.

Completely fixed the popping and sputtering on my bike. Runs VERY strong now. Just gotta fix the ugliness!

Replaced boots still don't run right. I think maybe the carbs need to rebuilt again. The guy that did it before I don't think tore them down all the way. I took them apart and the gang plate screws gave a "pop" sound like they havent been done in a while and the pilot jet on #4 was completely stipped out. I think I just need to find a set of once working carbs from a junk yard and be done with it.
