1986 vf500 intake leak around boots

need help 1986 vf500 interceptor

need some help .
i have an intake air leak around the intake boots.

i have owned this bike for two years now and it runs good . i let it sit for a few month and the float bowl gasket dried out .

so I removed the carbs to replace the float bowl gaskets, and having taken the carbs off before i new i wanted new intake boots. so i spent the $100 for the( 1986 only intake carb boots) and installed them,

but when i started the bike it had a very high idle (about 4K )that will not respond to the idle adjuster and when i did the carb cleaner test ( spraying carb cleaner around the intake) the engine raced higher .i rechecked the intake clamps to verify they are tight and look all the way seated .
Any idea ???

 

if your clamps have a sleeve in the middle that limit tightness, remove them and try again.

 

they are the stock clamps but i will take one off to see if there is a way to make them close better
thank for the response I'm stuck one this one.

 

post photo of clamps please.

 

i will take one off this week and get a good photo.
