I know I'm not telling you what you want to hear... I'd dissuade any attempt at repairing those diaphragms. On a road bike, failure of one or the other in traffic situations could be downright dangerous....a repair simply not reliable and not worth the risk.

The old "carbs are easy" mantra is not an automatic, not necessarily true at all....for all.....in all cases.
