What most people call the carb boots are actually called insulators. They're numbered, so you don't have to worry about mixing them up, and they're a different size for the head side and the carb side.The Jimbonaut said:Insulators? What be they - another name for the cam guides?
irk miller said:Just because they're light, or appear a little lean, doesn't mean the valves are burnt. A burnt valve will literally have part of it's edge melted away. As the pressurized and fuel rich, super heated air is looking for oxygen, it takes the path of least resistance. Once it finds its weak point, it always pushes through that spot, melting it away. If you had good compression, then it is unlikely that the valves are burnt, as they would hold little or no compression.
Also, nothing wrong with just going with a hone and putting it back together. Depends on how deep down this rabbit hole you want to go.
