Hi, I just got a Virago 535 last week that hadn't ran in years. I believe mine has diaphragm problems as well. I cleaned the carbs, checked compression and timing. Everything checks out but will not get over 55 to 60. You never really followed up on this video. Did the diaphragms really make a night and day difference? What carb kit did u buy? Thanks
@@rhyness1534 I actually did. I did a full rebuild on the carbs and it still had no power. I then used a temperature gun and found out the rear cylinder was alot cooler suggesting it wasn't firing in the rear cylinder. I checked spark and was getting spark. Pulled the float bowl off the rear carb again and my float was adjusted correctly but the needle valve was causing it to get in a bind and not let fuel in. Fixed it and now it's firing on both cylinders and has plenty of power.
If this video helped you replace your own diaphragms, tell me all about it in the comments!
