The diaphragms do not appear to be the same material as the main diaphragms and are not as supple. I do not believe there is a right time to replace them, however if there is corrosion on the spring in particular I would replace them. My usual route is "if in doubt replace them", but they can range in price from 20 to 30euro. Wash the diaphragms in warm soapy water, dry them out and soak them in WD40 for about 10 minutes and then wipe the WD40 off with kitchen toweling. Many will frown at using WD40 on diaphragms, but I never had an issue doing it. Most important is to ensure the pathways for the air are clear
Thank you for the hint.
All four springs are looking like new. Even the holding screws looking like new, so I would say someone did maintenance or swapped with new before I bought these carbs few yers ago, when I was installing the Ivan's kit.
And yes, as mentioned above, I have overlooked air cut valves maintenance in that time, so I do it now.
Anyhow, I took your advice, cleaned up the diaphragms and the chambers where they fit, and put some presured air via the patways.
I try tu put some pics of them here.
Ok it seems I will have to upload them somwhere else right?
