    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What are the dimensions of part number six in this diaphragm assembly? Also is it really necessary?

Might be an inch, might be a mile. :-k

Guessing it's for your 550, so it would be a kilometer, not a mile, but what part is it? Where does it go?

.
 
Its a plastic washer that fits onto the piston holder according to the manual, but I can't find it on any other parts list, and it didn't come with my bike. Do I need it?
 
The part that holds my pistons is called a "wrist pin", and it's sure NOT plastic. :-k

I think I know what you are talking about, but I sure didn't get it from your descriptions. :oops:

I have not owned a bike (or worked on one) that used a similar part since 1983, so my memory is rather fuzzy.
Can't say for sure how important that part is.

.
 
I don't know why I did this but I actually started looking through the service manual for your bike. That part comes from the carburetor diaphragms and is absolutely most necessary if you want to have working carburetors. Others can tell you better just how hard/easy it will be to put everything back together like it was supposed to.
