One of those days in the garage.

Just finishing the last couple of things for the MOT put split pins in front and rear axel nuts and found a bolt to go into the brake disks that was missing.

Then I got brave, I have an issue with the fuel tap leaking fuel down the vaccuum pipe so I got a fuel tap rebuild kit from hi-level.

Did the fuel tap "on/ res / prime" side with nice new rubber selector and seals.

Flipped it over and took the diaphram out (looking very worn out) then disaster wrong diaphram supplied in kit, square shaped not "house" shaped

Any one know if Yamaha still do diaphrams for a F2 350 YPVS fuel taps or where I can get one from?

Anyway no MOT tomorrow for me

If you mean the hard plastic bit that fits between the diaphragm and the piece with the O ring on it I think you will find you have to pull the diaphragm bit through the square plastic bit and carefully thread the new one through. At least that what I had to do on my LC2 one.

The new diaphram isnt big enough to cover the full area of the metal part of the vaccuum tap.
