Question Carb boot question

I have a '93 580Z and I noticed the carb boots are cracked. Should I replace these as soon as possible? What do you guys think?

Yes, don't leave it to chance. And be sure to buy the genuine Mikuni boots only. They're $30 each from Arctic Cat, $22 if you get them from an independent shop. Do not use the $6.00 aftermarket boots, they will start falling apart in 6 months.

Air leaks from the carb boots can cause a lean condition, and you can fry your motor.

And use some Yamabond or Honda bond or the 1104 or 1194 from 3m to seal them too. No silicone!
