  • New carb slides and diaphragms, wheres the best place to buy??

    Howdy all!!!! Well, Ive got an easy question for you all this time!! I live in the Philippines, have an 80SG, and need new diaphragms. Now, Ive read alot about other, cheaper ways than buying the stuff new, and that just the rubber can be replaced, but Ive thought it out, and Im just gonna buy the slide and diaphragm so as to avoid any problems over here!!!! Im just asking for suggestions for the best site to purchase them from online???? Thanks in advance for all answers, and thanks so much for all the help Ive gotten here in the past years!!! Take care, and mabuhay from Liloan, Cebu, Philippines.

    I like this place:

    Sirius Consolidated, Inc.

    It looks expensive, but it might be hard to beat $55 each. Mike's XS is often the price leader and their's are $69 each.

        diaphragms and slide

        The one I found on MikesXS was 69 for just the slide, and the slide and diaphragm was 90. I want to get both. The Cirrius site had the 55 dollar price, but is that for slide and diaphragm??? It doesnt say, and that scares me little, I dont want to order something, spend 100 buks to get it shipped here, and it isnt what I want! Ive never ordered this part before, and dont want to just order the slide, or the daphragm by itself, I want to get the whole thing, and Im just too dumb to figure out if the Cirrius site is for both??? Thanx guys!!!

          It is both the slide and the diaphram...attached..ready to put your needle assembly into and pop it in the carb. So it does not include the needle, spring, washer, plate to hold the needle in place or the screws in there.

            Diaphragms

            The rubber-only diaphragms are much cheaper and less trouble to replace. They work fine. Rarely does anything ever go wrong with the slides.

            I am using four on a 79SF and they are as food as the originals.

                eBay seller motoallparts sells diaphragms. I believe you'll find a tutorial on each eBay listing. I have no direct experience with this vendor.

                  The diaphragms reference there are a PITA to install.
                  Try these.I used them on a set I have now.Super easy to install and well built.

                    Oooh I like the look of those ones! Ours are bs34 carbs right? Will it affect performance if I only replace 2 of them that are leaking? Sorry for the thread jack...

                      I bought a set of four and used three.The carbs work great. So yes , just replace the ones you need.
                      And yes, XS1100 carbs are the bs34's. I believe they are 73mm. There is a link on their page to show you how to measure your diaphragm.
