Getting the bike ready to sell.  Took off the cruise control that quit working.  Wow that was more of a job than I remembered, especially in the heat.  So in the process I loosened a connector and lost the low beams.  This morning I found that problem and changed the oil and filter and battery seemed a bit low so bought a new battery and installed that.  I suited up
to take a test ride and right away there is a problem.  Like one cylinder with a bad plug.  Long story shortened a bit, plugs didn't help and I found a crack in one of the carb cover diaphragms.  Looks like they want to sell you the whole piston/slider with the diaphragm part # 16111-MZ0-A00  I put it all back together today and am not getting back out in that heat again today.  Does anyone remember if that diaphragm is removable from the slider and can you buy just that part?  Or does anyone have a set of carbs that I can get parts from?  Or buy the whole set?  The guy that was going to buy it was going to fly in from Texas Friday and pick it up Saturday but I just called and postponed that for now.  I don't even know for sure that the hole in the diaphragm is the problem as I switched it with another cylinder and still seems to follow that original cylinder.  Cobra pipes help some in determining where the problem lies.

Thanks to Sixlow for offering me parts from his extra carb bank.  Going to pick it up this weekend.  Will see where it goes from there.

Thanks is also due to Bert, he has bared his parts. :o. no,no,  I mean shared some parts to make all this possible.  :D
Also having a new post notification sent to your email makes for a quick response, especially when the thread says "Help".  Glad to help out.

Thanks Bert, going to Mike's this afternoon to pick it up and hopefully get my problem solved.  Appreciate your making it available.  Hopefully I only need parts from one carb and the rest will go back to Mike.
