If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

I have recently bought a GS850G which needs one of the carburetor diaphragms replaced. I have sourced the parts and will change all 4 because they are not in the best shape:

My question is, how are the new diaphragms secured to the slides? I read somewhere that I have to cut the plastic retainers to remove the old diaphragm but I cannot find the replacement retainers anywhere.

Any advice anyone can offer is greatly appreciated.
 
Excellent, I found the information I need, thanks a lot! :-)

Crazy how much the diaphragms cost but I guess its a captive audience, if you need them then you gotta pay!
 
If you think those are expensive, you don't want to check the price of OEM diaphragms. :-\\\
 
I don't know where I read this but I tried it and for 3 years, so far, it has held. I repaired a tear in a diaphragm using high temp blue RTV (O'Reilly Auto) and a patch cut from a Harbor Freight 5 mil thick rubber glove. I applied the patch to the "top side" of the diaphragm. Made the patch about 2 or 3 times the size of the tear. I let it cure overnight and reassembled. Worked great and 3 years later still working.

Just my 2 cents.

I use ultra black. Be sure to use a nitrile glove. It works.

Yeah nitrile is what used. I said rubber because I'm getting old and forgot what it was called. But the cheap 5 mil thick gloves from HF is what I used.
