    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.

I put it in the shop and they cleaned the carbs up and noticed that a couple of the carb diaphrams had slits in them and needed to be replaced, because they were sucking air. So I contacted a local suzuki dealer and the diaphrams are 82 bucks apiece. They don't come with just the ruber diaphram it's a whole piece. I guess my question is where would I find the ruber diaphram pieces by themselves. I don't know if I want to pay 82 bucks apiece for the whole kit and cuboodle.

Thanks
David:confused:

$82 is a pain isn't it... :|

A cheaper way out might be to find a second-hand set of carburettors that has good diaphragms, and use the parts you need from them.
 
Yeah I was considering that option, but you never know what you buying till you get them and take it apart.

If you get them from a wrecker, they usually offer a guarantee on the working condition of the parts (at least, they do here in Australia). Besides, you could always just pop the lid of the carbies and visually check the diaphragms... literally a 5-minute job, and no wrecker will begrudge you that. :)

The other thing is that if, for example, you buy a set over eBay, then you can always ask the question before you bid, which should save you from any bad surprises.
