    Bad diaphragm?

    No, nobody's pregnant. the question I had was,
    I have an 82 GS1100GL that runs great, but latley I have noticed #2 exhaust pipe is turning a little blue right about at the port. keep in mind that all the basics are covered, pet cock is new,carbs were super cleaned and dyno jetted, K&N filter, valve lash set, and a V&H 4-1 (I guess why I'm bummed is the blue pipe) The bike typically runs at about 5000 rpm constant to work and back with some good breef 9000 rpm runs on the weekends. what I was wondering was if #2 carb diaphragm had a small leak in it, would it cause a slight lean condition at a constant cruise? I have never run into this, but in my mind it seems to fit.

    Re: Bad diaphragm?

    I have my doubts a diaphram leak is the cause. I'm more inclined to think the synch on that carb is out of whack slightly.

          Just bear with me, I'm trying to talk myself through this.

          If a slide diaphragm is leaking, it wouldn't run lean or rich, you just wouldn't get full fuel flow moving through the passage because the slide wouldn't open enough to allow that to happen.

          Am I thinking this through correctly?

              Yes, specially above 4000 RPM.
              At this point the engine seems to fire three or two cylinders, depending in how much diaphragms is leaking.
              This happened my 2 years ago.
