So far, for just the diaphragms, I would say Ebay, you can get a set of four for around $100.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

Hi George, I checked out the link you posted and He's a little more than you paid now, however JBM is still the same, as a year ago @ $84.80 shipped, for the 73 mm diaphragms for BS 34 carbs.

Diameters
If I remember correctly, the 78/79 carbs and the 80/81 carb diaphrams are a different size. The 80/81 are obviously 73mm. Anyone know what the 78/79 correct size is. I know I read it a few years ago on here someplace.mack

The slides are different but pretty sure the diaphragms are the same.Originally posted by mack View PostNathan

Marty, I've had them in there for about a year and half and they work great.Originally posted by jetmechmarty View Post
They were a bit fun trying to get on. They have a little lip on the inside hole that supposed to fit down into a groove between the two plastic retainers of the slide. I found that a little cooking spray helped slide them in and a good 360deg. twist between the slide and diaphram got them fully seated in there.Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!
