Have just cleaned and rebuilt my carbs and found a small hole in one of the membranes of the vacuum diaphragm. Unfortunately the rebuild kit i bought from just kampers has a different vacuum diaphragm than fits my carbs..........so does anyone know where i can buy one for my pierburg solex 32-34 PDSIT-3?

cheers

I got a kit for mine from brickwerks but one came with the diapragm the wrong way round but dont know if it will come off or go on the right way round they are rivetted on, will look in the morning to see what the old ones are like, will send on if they are, be in touch, cheers.

try a puncture repair kit. The very thin feather edge to the patch and the rubber glue or a bit of latex surgical glove, that sort of thing. Used to use bits of condom on the bike carbs back when I had one (a bike I mean)....and hair......and a life. Lol

This is a bit confusing to me.
So it's 2.0 CU air-cooled - hence "carbs", it has a vacuum diaphragm somewhere on the carbs that has more than one membrane, JK sell something else that's not this, and it's the left hand carb that's playing up? (-3).
The only diaphragms I can think of are the accelerator pump ones, but they're not really vacuum related, more a pressure pump. The dizzy has two vacuum diaphragms in it, but you can't see them, so not that. And the carbs aren't Pierburg.
Gonna need a picture on this one...

Reference the bike carburetor diaphragm bodge:
As a naive young production engineer I was involved in sourcing a waterproof sock type primary environmental protection envelope for an 80mm X 600mm product.
As you can imagine I was met with disbelief and howls of raucous laughter when I telephoned the technical advice department of the London Rubber Company asking if by any chance they produced anything with those dimensions
