The rear carb on my BT7 is leaking fuel and it looks like it is coming from around the choke rod. Could I have a cracked diaphragm, and if so does anyone have any idea where I can get my hands on one before next weekend 10-13?

The rear carb on my BT7 started leaking and it was the diaphragm. I would think any of the normal suppliers could get you a replacement in your time frame. It’s not a difficult job once you’ve gotten the carb out of the car.

Patience is the key to removing the rear carb. Take off the air cleaner and top of the float bowl first. It will give you more room to remove those pesky nuts that hold the card to the manifold.

I already have the air cleaner and choke cable done I did a frame off on this car about 6 years ago so I guess its about time for things to wear out

Make sure the new parts are ethanol compatible , that’s what destroys carb diaphrams .
