Hi all. Trying to start the 5 but notice fuel is pissing out of the side of the carb, I presume diaphragm has split, so I order a new service kit, I replace the diaphragm which I can see has a little tear in it, put it all back together with new one. Try n start the car and the same is now happening? Fuel coming from side of carb?
Any info would be great. Is their a reason why it's split again?

Is your float stuck?
Could be causing the bowl to overfill and fuel to spill out?
Just a thought
Sorted it. Won't be saying what it was though haha
Me being stupid!
Glad to hear all ok!
Will most prob be needing another rebuild kit
Unless you can get just the diaphragm I need?

Glad its sorted bud.
Fuel feed attatched to the acc pump enrichment port?
Fuel line attached to wrong place haha
Think I am on the over flow. So shooting a shed load of fuel up it. And splitting diaphragm.
Doh
I bet we've all fecked up at some stage, I always do
I made a boo boo last year with the fuel supply to the carb, i had a larger bore feed pipe than the fitting and in my amazing wisdom instead of sorting it properly i packed out the fitting on the carb with insulation tape
it spat it off and sprayed fuel all over the engine, luckily for me the engine was cold, if it had of happened half a mile earlier it would have been very different
We live and learn
