Looks like its a bonded diaphragm; so the 'part' is the whole slide and diaphragm.

well I went to the local breakers (Bike Bits in Coventry) who said that it was a bit 'retro' for them, try using glue from a puncture repair kit or try Honda.
so round the corner to Honda, they looked on their parts computer and said
"We can get it here for the 15th,
for £142.18"
One Hundred and Forty Two Quid!!!!!
so i've bookmarked the site Map provided, and gone and bought a puncture repair kit!
but i'm thinking the patches will be a bit thick, so i thought what product do I know of that is fairly tough, fairly thin, rubber and easily available?
...so i've popped in the doctors and got some free condoms!
gotta be worth a try, after all Honda were trying to shaft me! ____________________ it is impossible to lick your own elbow...

What about Marigolds (rubber gloves)? I'd have thought dunkies might be a bit thin but definitely right with the rubber cement |

If you find out what the carbs actually are by what model and make they are, your welcome to come try a slide from one of the sets of NTV650 carbs I have around.....
The slides look very similar. ____________________ Suzuki GT250 x7------- Fazer 600------CB250RS------Aprilia Rally 70----- Bandit 600

Well the repair worked, loads more mid-range power and no stuttering at 60!
I've swapped the rear indicators too as I kept kicking the old ones when I was swinging my leg over! So now it's become project tart up! ____________________ it is impossible to lick your own elbow...

Sounds like you're doing the 'scissor swing' rather than the 'Big-Step', to mount.
Been trying to teach Snowie the Big-Step, 'cos she keeps hopping in, grumbling she's stubber her toe on the top-box again
Basically, stand next to near-side of bike; facing over the saddle, left hand on handlebar. Bend right leg at knee to stand on one foot; and keeping right leg bent, twist and 'step' over the saddle; unfolding right leg after you have cleared the back of the bike.
Useful little technique, especially if you have a top-box.
If you are more supple, and can tuck leg right up and mount over the tank, you can even get a pillion seated comfortably before you get on, so that they dont pull you over or strangle you with your jacket 'scrambling', behind you. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Tef, my knees are buggered from falling off skateboards too often as a kid, you can inspect my mounting/dismounting technique tomorrow evening when I bring you a couple of bottles of homebrew!
Had an interesting night at Bassett's Pole last night.
met the previous owner to the bloke I bought it off.
he was saying that when he sold it the bloke I bought it off saw him and started saying it was a lemon as it kept overheating.
told him when I got it I noticed the expansion tank was empty.
then the bloke who I bought it off turned up.
he asked me if it was still overheating, so I said "Not since I filled the expansion tank."
to which he replied "What F***ing Expansion tank?"

Mrs Phrealey (pending) has bought me an early birthday present!
https://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y475/i_p_phrealy/DSC_1351_zps86771c71.jpg
we thought she bought 1 carb, but they sent 2.
So Efes123 if you need any carb bits I may have some spares... ____________________ it is impossible to lick your own elbow...

Project tart up is on hold...
it has turned into Project fix the bastard thing!
about 2 weeks ago me and Mrs phrealy (pending) had gone out for a sunday afternoon bimble, we were heading down the M42 to her parents house, and as I was trying to overtake an artic I lost all power from the bike.
while I was looking to work out why I saw some light blue smoke behind me.
"That's odd?" i thought, "I wonder where that's coming from?"
realised it was from my exhaust...
so as we stopped on the hard shoulder of the M42 I realised what had gone. the front head gasket.
cue me pushing the bike for 2 miles on a lovely sunny afternoon.
started hunting for bits soon after!
so strip down starts again, Drained the oil and there wasn't 3 litres left in it.
drained the water, it should have about 2 pints of water, and when I drained that out, well... I've had bigger doubles measures in pubs!
first new quirk for me is finding extra spark plugs. turns out the head had 2 plugs per cylinder for reduced emissions and more POWAH! you can see the HT lead for the other plug here:
https://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y475/i_p_phrealy/DSC_1390_zps98b2ac5a.jpg
so off came the coils and the cam cover and then I was reminded that V twins have cam chains...
https://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y475/i_p_phrealy/DSC_1393_zpsb3ca350e.jpg
bugger! that has made the job harder.
had the fun of removing this timing cover...
https://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y475/i_p_phrealy/DSC_1398_zps941d6428.jpg
in the end a big screwdriver and a hammer worked, i tapped it round!
got the camshaft guides off
https://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y475/i_p_phrealy/DSC_1407_zpseb12c3ae.jpg
and I found that I can turn the engine round by hand so it didn't seize the engine (thank fook!) however I left my laptop with the PDF of the manual at mine so I stopped there because I didn't want to guess what timing mark was TDC.
got a replacement gasket, but why did Honda insist on using silly bolt sizes? all the bolts in the head are 12 or 14mm and not the 13 and 15 i was expecting.
this coffee Mrs Phrealey made would have been a lovely one too had my size 12 feet not got in the way.
https://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y475/i_p_phrealy/DSC_1408_zps74d21120.jpg
so Tuesday night I'll be in the inlaws garage, fixing my bike whilst listening to bikes hooning up the Coleshill bypass on the way to Bassetts Pole, and I won't be jealous, honest ____________________ it is impossible to lick your own elbow...
