    Carb slide diaphram repair

    I have been reading a lot of diaphram repair threads on line. What one Guy says will work another says it won't. I have a spare set of carbs I'm thinking about rebuilding I know there are holes in the diaphrams. I'm looking for a cheap good fix if there is such a thing. Has anybody found one that works? Thanks Mike

      Carburetor diaphragm repair that works

      1982 GS1100GL Citrus County, FL

      a rare outsider and was only built until 1983. Who still has one, it gives her so little.

              Someone posted that the spray on rubber would make your the throttle responce slow.

                            oof!
                            that's a good price Mr Hog, but they're out of stock for mine.
                            grrr...

                            Wrote to them anyway.
                            Thanks

                              I have BS32SS Carbs (GS850G 1986 - same carbs as 1983)

                              I wrote to jbm and asked if they have BS32SS diaphragms and they responded:
                              "If you have measured and found that our BS34SS won't fit, then I have no other ideas. I have never seen that carburetor."

                              I take it BS34s are a different size and that the diaphragm won't fit my bike, right?
                              or wrong?

                              thanks
