    Carb slide diaphram repair

    I have been reading a lot of diaphram repair threads on line. What one Guy says will work another says it won't. I have a spare set of carbs I'm thinking about rebuilding I know there are holes in the diaphrams. I'm looking for a cheap good fix if there is such a thing. Has anybody found one that works? Thanks Mike

                            that's a good price Mr Hog, but they're out of stock for mine.
                            grrr...

                            Wrote to them anyway.

                              I have BS32SS Carbs (GS850G 1986 - same carbs as 1983)

                              I wrote to jbm and asked if they have BS32SS diaphragms and they responded:
                              "If you have measured and found that our BS34SS won't fit, then I have no other ideas. I have never seen that carburetor."

                              I take it BS34s are a different size and that the diaphragm won't fit my bike, right?
                              or wrong?

                              thanks
