Carburateor Diaphram

[Guest fairfield_ventutre_rider]

i have a 93 venture and i was cleaning out my carbs when i got to the diaphrams i notice there are three holes in the diaphram the holes are spaced far apart from each other it seems like they might belong there however on one diaphram the hole seems as if it has ripped wider than it is supposed to be. is this something that i should consider replacing?

 

ive shopped around for them and they are kinda pricey.

if i do need to replace them do you know any place where i can get them cheap or do any other ventures interchange the diaphrams?

i will be posting some pictures a.s.a.p. so you can see what im talking about

 

thank you,

-mike

What you are looking at are wear marks\holes. Some guys fix them with liquid tape, but you are working with old rubber and in my opinion that is a stop gap fix, will hold for a little while but the problem will come back again. New ones at http://www.flatoutmotorcycles.com/ are about $55.00 ea and if you are doing one, you'll be happy to replace all four.

Marlcarl speaks wise. If you're going to keep an older scoot, then you need to keep it up to reliable and economical.

 

15 years is a fair enough life span for rubber. Don't get stuck in Podunk.

Proper Maint. = peace of mind, while you're out there............and 'peace of mind' is why we ride.

 

There's no sense Touring if you have to 'worry' about iffy parts.
