I've been having problems with my bike not idling well and it seems the front cylinder is loading up with fuel at idle. I have dissassembled the carbs and suspecting just dirt in the system. I cleaned it all up but still having an idling prob. I disassembled again but this time looking at the accelerator pump. My bikes an '83 and my regulator is with the accelerator pump. I have a ripped diaphragm and I've already looked up at bike bandits for a replacement but it is discontinued. Would this be my idling problem and if so how can I get a gasket.
I think that Lucky is the carb expert here. I am concerned also as I recently cleaned and serviced my set and felt the diaphragm was looking a bit aged. I lie awake at nights worried that I may wake up some morning and be without a part for my vision. Now I know why the boys keep there own little stash of spare parts. :-/
I was reported on the old forum that there are a varity of lawn mower carb diaphragm's available I will dig out a sample and run it by a shop in salem . I'll report back as soon as I have numbers.
i'm in the hospital right now with pnumonia , so i haven't been here since fri, and won't be out for a few more days
I actually haven't had to replace one yet, and don't have a sample one to match up localy, I plan on trying to put together some "rebuild kits" to keep on hand and sell to you guys when needed, but that's another "future list" project. sorry i couldn't help you on this one.
one more thing, i really could use an old 83 carb to disect (not permanantly! :o ), measure, and reproduce parts from. donations welcome (even old torn gasketts) email me
Thanks, --Lucky
