Audio and Video of CV Carb Diaphragm Good and Bad
CBAS5 and I videotaped what a good diaphragm sounds like when it's installed, and also what a bad one sounds like. There's a huge difference, but until you see it or hear it in person, it's hard to describe. You can see the videos at youtube.com:
Good
Bad

That's very good to know, and an easy way to check after you crack open the top of the carb and reassemble.
Thanks for the info!

Chris....thanks! That certainly helps to clarify some things. At least we have an idea of what to look/listen for.

CBAS5 and I were talking about what it should sound like, good, and we filmed that one. Then he said "you know, we should show a bad one too" so we did that.
I think the sound and the speed that the slide comes down are the two most important things. Those things you can't describe to someone really. I can't anyway. But it's absolutely the best way to verify that the diaphragm is seated properly.
