Hi guys. Question is. Is there a way to soften my diaphragms? And would this is be what causes her to stumble when I open her up. Runs out good if I roll on her slow.

Just to clarify, you have a stumble, and your hypothesis is that it is due to stiff diaphragms?
I'm no expert here, but I've never heard of that being a problem. More likely is that they have a small leak (pin hole). This would prevent vacuum from building on the top side of the diaphragm which would keep the slide from lifting.
I am sure someone else will chime in whether that will cause your driveability problem, but in the mean time, you might want to check them for small holes or tears.'81 XS11H Venturer - holed up in storage while life happened since 07/08/04

I had a stumble like you are talking about when I first rebuilt my carbs. I discovered that the kits I bought had the wrong pilot jets in them and as soon as I put the stock ones back in the stumble disappeared.
A lot of the kits you buy have pilots with 8 bleed holes in them and that causes the stumble. The correct pilots have 6 bleeds in them.Greg
