No. I soaked them in a covered container for over a week. Then I added a can of brake fluid. I knew it was time to order new ones

Thanks.  Hmm.  Maybe boiling them is key as it opens up the rubber?  Not sure.  But I'm going to try again. 

There's a youtube video of that Ichiban bloke softening some CB750 intake rubbers with a wintergreen mix, so I guess it does work? ;D

I installed his pod chokes.  Work great!  ;)
