I have not had a problem with the carb diaphragms degrading with ethanol gas
although about 8-10 years ago I found a reliable source of ethanol-free gas
(Shell premium) which I now use exclusively in all my cars, so now I  don't
worry about it at all.  However, even when I was using gas with ethanol I
never had a diaphragm beak down.  We on have <10% E in our gas here in
Canada, whereas some places in the US I believe are higher.  Could that make
a difference?  I'd have thought (hoped?) that the material they are made of
now is ethanol-compatible.  Regardless, I think changing  them every 5 years
is unnecessary.

 

Just my opinion,  Mirek

Simon, 

I never had problems with the jets but those diaphragms do not last long
with ethanol gas.

SU and diaphragms???? 

May be meant for Stromberg carbs? 

The needle in SU's is not in contact with the jet so if the carbs are set up
properly the needles don't wear.

Mine have been in since 2011....I've 3, so it'll be quite a business.

 

Another topic.my copy of Roger's book has arrived. Excellent. Anyhow, the
front cover...where was that taken?
