[Healeys] Hd-8 diaphragms

[Wayne]

Hello List,


               I also took my Healey for a ride yesterday and found my 
front carburetor dripping fuel onto the exhaust due to a ruptured hd-8 
jet diaphragm:(  I remember a thread about two replacement parts 
available, one with green rubber and one with black rubber. One was 
supposed to be better with modern fuels. As my jet diaphragms are only a 
couple of years old, and with the PITA involved in removing the 
carburetors I would like to get the better parts. I will order the parts 
from Burlen Fuel Systems if I have too. Thoughts?

information about tire age.
