I just realised when I came to fitting the vacuum diaphrams tonight (just arrived from Year One) that there were no springs in the canisters when I took the carbs apart.

How the hell this thing ever worked is beyond me. The secondary outer carbs must have been coming open at the same time and rate as the primary carb.

Some lazy so and so must have either forgotten to fit them or (more likely) couldn't fit them because there is a knack to it. Anyone with half a brain could work it out but in this case they probably gave up and just fitted the diaphrams without them.

These springs control the opening point and rate of opening of the outer carbs.

It is a good job I had a couple spare isn't it.

You have to try and get the rubber even all around the edge.

Looks just like the inside of a Worcester diverter valve.Adam & Steve Case will know what I mean
Top job on that Dave

So did the diaphragm get chewed up like me 600 one always seems to? Silly design.........

Well the original ones had melted in the fire Kev. But they only last a few years anyway before they need changing. They perish and go out of shape.
