Just got a tear in the rubber intake pipe. Has a two bolt flange at each end, possibly with a steel flange moulded inside the rubber. Best ideas for a cheap easy fix! I'm leaning toward going to a tyre repair shop.

wipe a bit of black rtv into the tear and let it set.

Urethane is better, silicone was the miracle material of the 1970s. Just make sure you clean it well first.

Nup, It's an older Yamaha YFM 200 - 250 air cooled, shaft drive with reverse. It is bent slightly to one side tho. Might be keen to bin it and go for a 400 ish engine.
