Thanks, figured there was something wrong. Just wanted to double check. Time to start saving up for replacements. 3 diaphragms were ripped.

Glad someone found the site useful! That page has been overhauled a bit, and this is the first I've heard of those diaphragms not being recommended, I'll add a comment to the 'carbs' page of the wiki.

At that cost, you should consider just buying a brand new set of carbs from Randy and selling yours off for parts on ebay.

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

Yeah, just did some research and updated the fjowners.wikidot.com/carbs page to include the sources on what was just said, see under 'guide for restoring', or just scroll to the bibliography at the bottom and click the links.
