I wiped the bores of the carbs down when I reassembled them the other day after putting one drop of super glue on the top of the joint between the slide and diaphragm. Rode about 100 miles in the last couple of days and it looks like the slides have stayed in place.
Not sure if I got rid of the gunk or just that the glue worked. When I took the slide out previously, the tire of the diaphragm did feel noticeably loose - the slide rotated easily inside the tire, so I feel like the glue probably didn't hurt. Then again, another round of carb cleaning probably didn't either.
Called JBM on friday but only got their machine. I thought it would be best to speak with him in person so I'll try again on Tuesday after the holiday weekend. I'm curious to hear if he has any thoughts.
