what would happen i had a crack, or possible tear in my diaphrams in my carbs? gs1100e
 
It won't run right. You have a 1980 or newer 1100E with CV (constant velocity) carbs. The way these work is that the more air flow you have, the more the slide raises the needle and effectively increasing the air volume simultainiously. Basically, the carb(s) that have holes in the diaphragm(s) won't be spitting the correct amount of fuel to the engine.
 
The carb in question would be at increased risk of pregnancy? :lol: :lol:

It might, does it bog when you slowly pull away and when you take off hard and fast? Or one or the other?
 
And I'm curious has anyone ever tried to patch a crack or hole in one of the diaphrams? Silicone sealer/adhesive like Goop? Don't need to do it was just wondering. Last time I had to buy diaphrams/slides was for my XS2 Yamaha $22 for the PAIR so that let's you know how long ago it was!
 
I tore the diaphrams on my 98 GSX limited SeaDoo RAVE system. I used a little monkey super glue (tube patch kit) on the crack until the new one came in. Should work the same on the carbs too, wont last forever but it should get you down the road or across the lake in my case.
 
if i blip on the trottle fast, it boggs and every once in a while will die.

A bad diaphragm will not allow the carb to accept throttle properly or at all. No adequate vacuum to lift the piston (slide) and thus open the throttle plates. The carb will idle all day. Open the throttle, it bogs or dies. The size of the tear/crack is related to how severe the problem.
If you're deliberately opening the throttle faster than what's normal, the problem may be just that. If normal operation of the throttle gives good results...
 
not fast like, crazy fast, but like if i role on the throttle to get to around 3 or so fast, then it bogs.
 
If the bike won't accept throttle above idle either blipping it or trying to pull away, then your problem could be bad diaphragm(s). Look to see if they're installed right and check their condition.
