Need source for carb diaphrams & cutoff air valves diaphrams

[Dragonslayer]

Hey gang,

 

I'm looking for a source to buy new main diaphrams and air cutoff valve diaphrams for mikuni carbs (1987). Does anybody know a good source or vendor that might have these parts in stock at a reasonable price.

 

I appreciate any helpful input.

I don't remember the name right now but Ken Haymen "Laser917" hooked me up with a website that sold Yamaha Marine parts. It seems the carbs are the same and I got Diaphams for half what the bike sites wanted. I think I paid about $45 each for them. Contact Ken.

Define reasonable I got the main diaphragms for about 55 each from either Ronayers.com or Zanotti Motors. Both have been very reliable dealers for me with good prices. By "air cutoff valve diaphragms", I assume you mean for the enrichener circuit? I didn't buy those, but they were about $28 each if memory serves. If I find those bad in my carbs I think I can disable the enrichener circuit which may result in a bit of popping on decel but should have no real negative effect.

I assume you mean these?

If so, and the other sources did not pan out let me know as I just replaced mine and can get you the vendors name.

Taking a quick look, zanotti motors is lowest, don't know about their service.

But I'd ALSO like to find a cheaper source.

Bob, I've also heard that you can succesfully use "Liquid Electrician's Tape" to seal pin holes in the diaphragms.

 

Now to hijack this thread for a minute ! Have you and loehring seen the N Ga M&E thread for this Saturday? Hopefully you and Chip can make it. You could hook up with Blackjack and ride over.

 

 

 

 

 

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread!

I've been ordering from Zanotti for years. Their service has always been satisfactory - never any issues.

Yea I saw the M & E post but unfortunately the bike wasn't ready. As you can see I'm in the middle of putting a new motor in. I had used the liquid tape thing in the past but, carb problems has been an ongoing issue with this bike so i figured, what the heck, new motor, time to bite the bullet a replace those carb rubbers. When I get it back together this time I want it to be 100%.

 

But I'll see you at the Feb M&E, for sure.
