sealing airbox

[Chris1984]

Anyone know what i could use to seal around airbox,the bolts do a good job but is not sealed all the way as its slightly bowed?

hello i had this same problem and it was causing me running problems as its an air leak causing incorrect mixtures etc, at my work i had some sticky foam strips and i use them and it works great as it squishes down where it needs to and not so much in the gaps giving a nice seal. i stuck them onto the airbox not on top of the carbs. i didnt want to use a sealant etc as this would make it more difficult to remove the air box but i supose you could depending how 'bowed' the airbox was.
just an idea for you, let us know how you get on.
