The time has come for a complete rebuild / clean of my carbs, the bikes always been fluffy just off tickover but now I have intermittent petrol leaks from carb 2's float bowl and from the o rings.

After a 3 hour wrestling match I managed to get the damn'd things off the bike - that's 4 new boots required, but my question to the panel concerns replacement diaphragms.

I can get a set of China's finest for about £10 or I can go for a set from Germany (apparently made by Motoraad) which will set me back about £85. Has anyone tried either?

I must admit that the thought of cheap Chinese replicas worries me but it's a huge mark-up for something I don't know will be any better.

 

If it were me, I would try the less expensive route. The diaphragms are easy enough to change if they don’t work out

 

Hmmm, thanks.

That makes sense. That way the most I lose is £10 of they do turn out to be rubbish.

OK, you've convinced me :-)

 

i’m pretty good at spending other people‘s money.

 

Damn, there goes another keyboard :-)
