Templar 250X cracks on carb boot. Bonus question, Keihin PE carb vs stock carb.

Hi all! Quick question. Does anyone know a good replacement for the carb boot on the 250 templar X? Mine is all cracked. I don't think it's leaking air yet, but I have a feeling it's in my near future. Additionally, since I'll be taking the carb off to replace the boot, should I just replace the carb altogether? I've heard some good things about the stock carb, and some bad things. I'm not unhappy with it, but I have a brand new keihin carb just sitting in a box, collecting dust. Might as well switch, right?

There are Nibbi ones on Amazon for about 15 bucks. Probably what I will order when mine crack. If you have a good Keihin carb laying around of the right size...I would use it.

If you purchased it from powersportsmax I would contact them first about the cracked boot

It keeps tickling my mind if a Keihin from/for like a Honda CRF 230 could be made to fit. Because I've always liked that little extra jump you get with an accelerator pump.

No, bought the bike used. Great condition, but it’s been sitting in a garage for about a year. I’m guessing why the boot cracked.

I see replacement intake "Carb Intake Adapter Boot Rubber Pipe Flange"
WITH dimensions on ebay. There are many of them

My advise is remove it, take measurements. A micrometer, or just a ruler.

You will find one.

That one is for a Honda crf 250, as Thumper suggested, measure the hole size and stud spacing on your old one to make sure, as there are multiple variations.

Yes. Templar shares lots of parts with 20 year old Honda CRF 250. The front axel assembly, bearing and seals appear to be identical. When I start looking for parts, I usually try parts for that bike if I can't find Templar parts.

Ahhh, was hoping someone knows the measurements. I was hoping to swap it out in one go. Thanks though, I'll measure it when I get to it.

You were spot on!! Finally got around to taking off the boot and measuring it, and the link you shared is an exact fit! Engine side opening is 30mm, the bolt spacing is 61mm, and the carb side opening is 35mm. Thanks!

Thought I'd tag you since I got around to measuring the boot. The amazon link K'hermiit shared was an exact fit and I have the boot measurements in the comment above. Just an FYI. Thanks!

Thanks! This is definitely info for the Templar resource thread.

I had the thing off to seal it with orange permatex high temp since it had no gasket, and didn't think to measure it
