Bogdan/Carl. Thanks for the tips. I bought a can of Plasti-Dip (brand name not Napa) at a local hardware store. From the initial coat looks like it'll work great. Thanks!! You can get it in a non can form (designed for dipping tools into). Might be worth decanting a bit into a small container for the emergency tool kit if your running with a repaired diaphragm. Tony

The slider and diaphram are from a carburated HD 883 sportster (96). I bought one 2 weeks ago while rebuilding my Keihin. It's a 100% perfect fit. Total cost 39.95, plus $3 for the float bowl O ring. Don't have the part number at my fingertips: look on the KLR650.net site about 2 weeks ago for a thread titled 'carb problems' . Why mess with alternative methods when 40 bucks is a cheap way of doing it 'right'. Coop

go get the spray on plasti-dip from NAPA. Fixes a lot of stuff. My can that I bought to repair a diaphram made me much more money than the can cost. Repaired a lot of carb-motor boots that cracked and are no longer able to find cheaply from older bikes. I also used it to seal the boot into my klr airbox. Good stuff. Thanks Bogdan!
