pin hole in carb diaphram

[cyclefvr2]

2 inside carbs have 1 pin hole in each one! (sucks) so you guys think crazy glue will work for a while?? one drop ,it dries light so i dont think it will effect the weight or movements any


also batery dry again, found a 15 amp fuse in signals! i didnt do ,,im not happy about it , so you guys think this is enough to dry the batt cells??
crazy thing is it still starts and runs dry!
need a million bucks so i can do what i want to to this bike , i want a new bike but i like this on as well

o btw is the 83 gs750 ed model

Super Glue won't last very long.
Rubber cement won't last very long.
Silicone won't last very long.
Nothing else will last very long.

And it's not so much the weight, it's the need to remain flexible. Not sure what type of rubber the diaphragms are made of, but there is not much that will stick to them and remain flexible. The diaphragms flex every time you move the throttle, so basically, they are flexing constantly. The only way to fix holey diaphragms is to replace them.

Not sure why a fuse in the signals would cause the battery to go dry. The only thing that makes a battery go dry is overcharging, and that is more likely caused by a faulty r/r rectifier/regulator) or some bad connections. Have you read and followed all the tests in The Stator Papers? Lots of good information there, and it will tell you rather quickly where your problem is. If you find that you need a new r/r, contact member Duaneage. He provides Honda units that have been tested before he lets them go. Why Honda? Because they seem to be more robust and last longer.

Look in repairs everyone should know.

Put the two repaired ones in the outboard carbs for easy access.

Can't hurt to try.

There were some threads on this forum about repairs, do a search.

Interesting. I wonder how long that would really last. Long enough to save up for new slides, anyway.

I got a link to someone on a Madura forum looking for turn signal information?

What was supposed to show up?

A tiny drop of plastic tool dip/covering from hardware store./ ANY repair is temporary

You have to scroll down the left column to the Title "Repairs everybody should know" . It will switch pages and you can scroll down to the desired one.


The idea as presented sounds good to me. He says it has been done on other bikes, plus it worked well more than one year on his own bike, which is a substantial amount of time.....and when checked he found the repair was still sound.

I wonder if a flexible pvc type patch would stick?

Plasti Dip is the name of the rubber coating for tool handles. Whether it works or not I dont have a clue. What it does do is tighten up the center fuel T that has no o-rings on the 34mm Cv carbs on GS1100's. Its $11.99 at a hardware store and $7.99 at Harbor Freight, same stuff, made in USA, a can about the size of a beer can. Personally Id get new ones or at least some good used ones before trying a repair.

I think I will fix a bad one and put it in a bike to see how it holds up.

thanks everyone for the responses!!
i super glued them, it works ok, but i would like better ones
fuel line messing with me now
the fuse i mentioned -
well you charge batts 12 volt , 6 or 10 amp, max to keep from burning them up, why wouldnt it blow fuses?? i have a 10 amp in it now
it had a 15 amp fuse in it i dunno how either i didnt do it
but the ignighter wires were melted when i got the bike,(already spliced as well) so i fixed those, with motorcycle wire so it would carry the same amont of amps/vots/current through them
i was wondering if the guy got a wire crossed or something, i put it the way it was it run been riding for a few months
anyway--the turn signal (fuse out ) there is no power!!, no light no turn over nothing, it is as if it were the main fuse, so i am curious about that as well
