blanking caps on the carbs

[mobile mouse]

Hi,
Does anyone know were you can buy the blanking caps.
I filled up with fuel from a fuel can that had been sitting in the garage for about 4 days.
Subsequently the bike started running with a misfire which looked to be getting worse.
Initially I thought it was contaminated fuel and was going to have to siphon it out and throw away.
But I noticed after going over the bike (MY03) one of the blanking caps you take off to balance the carbs had perished.
The carb must have been sucking air through the split cap causing the hesitation.
I have temporary fixed by wrapping it in self amalgamating tape which has worked, no hesitation, but would like a replacement.


I cannot find the part in the fazer parts list 2003 (pages 11,12).
Does anyone know which item it is in the pages so I can get a part number.


Cheers,
