    Thank you so much for your help. The only thing that has been tripping me up on this whole thing has been these copper gaskets. Since I now know that they do slip over the tubes I should have no problem fixing this leak this year. As for the procedure, Yeah I know. I've had it apart more that I care to count. This forum rocks! Thank you again.

    The old ones don't slip over the pipes. Could that be the problem I'm having. Could the guy who had it before me put the wrong ones in? I have two sets of the other gaskets, and Yeah,they don't fit in that spot. LOL. I found that out after a lot of cursing. So, I guess that since everyone says that they slip over the pipe, the next thing to do is get new ones.

    I thought about the grease trick as well.Was just wondering if there was another way or if maybe I had the wrong gaskets. Only because the ones I have on mine just but up against the tube and don't slip over anything. It doesn't seem very tight, or seated when it's clamped. I fought with it last year too. Tried the romex, tried to get new gaskets, tried to keep the hair on my head too. Gotta try to get a jump on some maintenance this year before it gets really nice out and I feel terrible about not riding right away.

    My question is, how do you get them beveled copper rings to stay in there? I do not have the necessary kung foo to keep them there untill the pipe is clamped.

    Ha! When our bikes were made we didn't have this new fangled internet thingy

    A couple of air restrictors to act as a filter on the vacum, and gravity. Where can I find those air restrictors? Could use a couple of those.

    Oops. Was I not supposed to do that? The power is so intoxicating, I can't help it.

    Yeah it does. I also found a guy in Canada who sells just the diaphragms but his store says that they are only for a 1300. I thought that kinda odd because they both look the same with the same part number. Fortunately my slides are good. The enrichment valves are good also. Thank you for the info everyone.

    So, since I'm new and don't know any better, could someone tell me the difference between the 1200 and 1300 carb. diaphragms? Are they different in size or length or maybe they prefer chicken to steak. It looks like there is no difference to me, but this is relatively new to me. I've had this bike for 3 to 4 years and I love it, but I can't bring my self to pay the ridiculous price for some yahoo to fix. I'm pretty handy and had to replace the stator my self three months after I got it...twice. I'm sure you guys (and gals) covered this already and I don't wanna be a bother bringing up old news but the season is about to really get under way here in Wisconsin and I wanna be out there a little earlier this year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
