Does anyone have any pointers on how to ensure that the carb diaphragms are seated properly all the way around circumference (including tab) just prior to putting on carb hats?
I have new ones from Mikesxs and when trying to secure the ridges around the circumference, they just don't want to stay put. Seems to me that new diaphragms should mold nicely around the circum. and stay there long enough to get the covers on.
Can diaphragms be heated a little to make them expand and more pliable or can some light coating of spray adhesive be used to them in place? Just brain-storming... I'm probably worrying too damn much about it, but I just don't have a warm & fuzzy when I'm securing screws.
No - I have yet to start my XS650C for a true test, not that far along...
Thanks.
