torn diaphragm!
08/01/15 at 22:01:35

no the rabbit didn't die.

I've been having carb issues for the past week.
the engine doesn't like a certain rpm off idle... sometimes.
backfires, crackles and pops... awesome and on command.

pulled the carb and found a hole in the diaphragm.

found some glue that's fuel proof (pliobond) at ace hardware.
used it last year to revitalize an intake duct on an old bike.
just slather it all over and it's like new... well at least the cracks are gone and it's flexible again.

unless anybody got a better idea, I'll use the pliobond to fix the hole.

Check that out.

Tight weave flexible screen

Might be able to use a mosquito net head protector. Check the Wal-Mart camping section.
I Guess polyester would be able to take the environment.
Heck, a patch of a piece of 100% polyester cloth, painted , squegeed in, with the glue, like you'd do fiberglass..
Might hafta glue it up, then cut to size.
Probably cut the perimeter out except for one or two Tails to hold it down by, smear it good, trim and apply.
