Flyinfool Posted June 5, 2012 Share #4 Posted June 5, 2012 Someone let Angle know that those diaphrams that he got from me still need to be replaced with new ones. I was replacing those because they had holes and were bad enough that I noticed my bike not running right. But my old ones were a lot less bad than what he had in there. just think of his grin when he finds out just how good these bikes can run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted June 5, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 5, 2012 Angel had a great time, and was really amazed by the whole MD phenomenom, and yes, Ill bet he is still grinning. Yammerand Jeff, he was tickled pink about your help and your advice. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer Posted June 5, 2012 Share #6 Posted June 5, 2012 I'm not saying There was anyone at MD that I didn't like but, Angel turned me on to some safety chrome I had been looking for was a super friendly person to me from the first handshake. The beer investment was well worth it and my pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammer Dan Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted June 5, 2012 I was trying to appear all friendly and everything and was staying close to all that Bling on that 86 but he watches like a hawk.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonslayer Posted June 5, 2012 Share #11 Posted June 5, 2012 my pleasure my friend .I'll turn you on to something you may find usefull to fix the pinholes in the diaphrams. take them out and spray them with Aerosol liquid rubber on both sides, let them dry, put them back in and your good to go for a couple years. A lot cheaper than $80.00/each for diaphrams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have too much competition out there:stickinouttounge: That jet you have is what I envied! My goodness you took off like a bat out of hell when we left back to the motel that night. Love the difference that it has already made. Please tell me when I do the diaphragms again do you feel that the syncing of carbs is still a good idea? Thank you Yammer!

KIC Posted June 5, 2012 Share #16 Posted June 5, 2012 I watched on E-Bay for the diaphragms. Got the set of 4 for $80.00. Some of the sets went for $180+ but just keep bidding as the new ones are posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
