There are two diaphrams listed for the carb - which one do you mean?
CMSNL claims to have them both in stock. I've used them several times and they've always got it righ for me.
They list both diaphragms as available one with a superceeding part No, and the other with an non-OEM alternative.

Hey all. Bike in question is an '03 Drifter 800, running the CVK36.

The rubber slide diaphragm on this carb has been torn/pinholed. I have been searching for months looking for a replacement diaphragm that is the correct fit. Dealers, parts fiches and eBay carb rebuild kits ALL claim they will fit my carb but they do NOT. The diaphragm is too big and is clearly meant for, I'm guessing, a CV40. I have returned 5 different diaphragms from differing sources and they are all the same too-big part, and the sources always seem baffled and have no advice.

WHERE can I find this part? I refuse to believe that I am the only person in history to replace one of these.

Thanks...
