so my 81 gs750e was running alittle rough and im tearing appart the carbs and i noticed the diaphragm on carb #2 has a small hole in it... so should i try the "Plasti Dip" spray-on heavy duty flexible rubber coating or try and get a new diaphragm? will one off a 87 gs450 work, they appear to have the same carbs just jetted diffrently.

If it was mine Id replace it with a new one or buy a set of used carbs -
New diaphragms are killer expensive. I'd post in the Parts Wanted forum for one used BS32 diaphragm. Much cheaper than buying a complete set of carbs.Originally posted by Katarat View PostEd

If it was me Id at least TRY your fix.
For all we know it might hold up remarkably well and save many GS owners the ridiculous cost of replacement.Comment

I would use the liquid "Plasti Dip dab some on the hole with a tooth pickComment

A quick search turned up this possible solution:
1982 GS1100GL Citrus County, FL
a rare outsider and was only built until 1983. Who still has one, it gives her so little.Comment

You can fix it, but I wouldn't ride across country on it just yet...
Personally I'd buy a new one, just to eliminate the possibility of more problems when your riding down the highway on only 2 wheels.Comment
