Carb Manifold Compatibility?
« on: October 04, 2022, 01:19:28 PM »
Hey! Manifolds for the vision are expensive!

Has anyone found models with compatible manifolds that may be more available?

Sometime a while back there was a discussion that mentioned a business in Europe that re-manufactured your old manifolds and returned them to you.  If I can find that discussioon I will put a link here.  In the meantime, if anyone can find that discussion please report it here.

Just got my VJMC magazine in the mail today and there was an ad for Sumo Rubber that makes rubber products for Yamaha's. No idea about pricing, but it might be worth a look.
Thought of this thread when I saw the ad.

Those look like they will work and the price even with shipping seems reasonable, good luck.
