Yeah, the fuel line was routed over the branch and I switched it earlier today. However with the same results. So far I have torn into the carbs and they look pretty darn clean. I have to go down and get a better Phillips cause a couple of these machine screw's are friggin tight as hell. I did however come across this which make me cringe.

**it's what appears to be a little tear in the diaphragm. It's the first one I took off so far. Gulp


I've used rubber glue before with success to fix a small tear in a diaphragm, got the glue out of a bicycle tyre repair kit. One way to check your diaphragms with carbs intact is to push the slide up with your finger and put another finger/thumb over the big elongated hole on the back of the carb, if the slide stays there or at the very least drops very slowly then your diaphragms are ok, if it falls straight down then you've got a hole or tear in it.

Thanks for the help everyone. Especially pat and mark. Got her running prey nicely yesterday. Went on a nice little 140 mile run. I had a blast. She running a little lean but no worries.
Thanks again,
