Working on some carbs tonight no pin holes in the diaphragms but feel a little stiff. Has anyone ever used any type of conditioner on them like an armor all?

Would not apply anything to them. They'll work just fine.Originally posted by Eastcoaster View Post81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top. -
I concur with Motoman. Nothing will be fine. You can put baby oil on them if you wish. It will condition vinyl and rubber if you keep using it.Marty (in Mississippi)

If anything, I would go with a dab of brake fluid rather than an armour-all type product. Stay away from any sort of grease on rubber.Ken TalbotComment

Carb Diaphragms
It is cold out and rubber is stiff. Other than warmer temperatures, they don't need any help.Originally posted by Eastcoaster View Post1981 XS1100H Venturer

A little 303 Aerospace protectant wouldn't hurt on the original diaphragms.Originally posted by Eastcoaster View Post
On my new diaphragms, I used a little silicone grease around the edge where the bulb fits into the groove.
Also I burnished the sharp edge, on the inside top of the carb body, that the diaphragm contacts. That's the place my old diaphragms had pin holes.

+1 on the 303Aerospace re-juvinate and conditioner!.........you;ll never get near another Armoural product!Originally posted by Schming View Post
For this app. with fuel fumes continuious presence, doubtfull they'd be any real effect for any gained durability. The OEM diaphrams are of a silk material which are then coated
