davie6711 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hey Drewpy, That's just a line in ma table! The hole in the diaphragm seems to be much smaller than the gap between the two plastic parts in the slide. One of the guys at my work was wondering if the slide actually came apart to allow easy fitting of the diaphragm??? Blackhat, I think that must be the way forward so i'll give that a go tomorrow and if it tears then so be it! Thanks again all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Although not used to vacuum carbs, I would imagine the diaphragms need to sit properly in order to get am effective seal for the vacuum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie6711 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi Blackhat, Thanks for the reply....and here was me congratulating myself getting the things back together and now you're telling me that there's more to it than that! Feck, feck feck! On the bottom of each float bowl is a screw which has a rubber seal and ends in a needle shape. Are you telling me that i should turn it back a bit? Davie.

Moderator Airhead Posted March 7, 2013 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2013 Nahh screws in the bottom of float bowls are for draining usually, often there is a spigot there too where the drained fuel will exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
