Diaphragms (and related gaskets) are the foundation of the operation on these types of carburetors (to find out all about this component, read “Tech Talk | The Diaphragm Carburetor”). In order to avoid malfunctions or unwanted breakdowns, it is necessary to ensure they are always in excellent condition. Diaphragms are subjected to continuous stresses during track sessions and, being made of a polymeric material, they tend to wear out quickly over time, deforming and losing elasticity. The suggested kit is suitable for overhauling carburetors of the most popular brands in karting (Tillotson, Tryton, Ibea, etc.). It consists of two diaphragms (main “dosing” diaphragm and fuel pump diaphragm) with two gaskets (one for each diaphragm). The advice, given the usually low cost of a set of spare parts, is to replace these elements frequently, so as to be protected from any kind of unexpected event.
