Carb slide diaphrams

Long story short, I put a small tear in one of the carb diaphrams. Didn't want to buy an OEM replacement for $173. So I bought, from amazon, the replacement diaphrams and am having a terrible time trying to put it on the plastic slide. Any hints or am I just screwed at this point? Thanks all.

I believe it can be done. You might sent a PM to Ducatiman and see if he has some tips. Others here may have succeeded too.

Welcome to the board Chris!

OP you've got the old diaphragm off?

Did you try after sitting in hot, soapy water...stretching?

Ya, I got the old one off. It just fits so tight in the groove that it never seems to seat inside all the way. I tried soap, just didn't soak it in hot water. I'll try that. Thanks.

I wonder if the recently mentioned tire mounting lube would help.

Well it took me 2 tries, but I finally got one on. New problem though. Afterwards, I put the finished slide in hot water with dish soap all over the area where the rubber meets the plastic. There was a small area that bubbles would form. I took it out and there appears to be a small defect in the plastic slide. It had to be there the whole time so do you think it would matter at this point? I would hate to put it back together again in vane. Thanks, all.
