The diaphram in my pressure regulator has split allowing fuel to pump straight into the plenum chamber. Not nice, but can you buy new diaphrams (where?) or do I have to buy a whole new regulator.
Cheers

Cheers Alex.
Same question though where can I get a new one from, although I have to confess being on a budget (aren't we all?) I would prefer to repair the existing one and set up the fuel pressure accurately while doing it.

Found a source for replacement diaphrams and at ?8.20 has to be worth a try rather than 40 quid for a new one.
Thanks for help.

No problem. I got in touch with Malpassi in Italy and they put me on to their agent "FSE Glencoe" you'll find them on this website:
http://www.fuelsystem.co.uk/Default.htm and the man to talk to is Terry Huxley. Very helpful he was to me.

Receive my new diaphram, now fitted, fuel pressure reset at 3.5psi and all is now well all for under a tenner in the end. I'm quite pleased with that!!

When you received your new diaphram,did it come with a new spring as well,cause I have a faulty regulator with a good diphram but the spring has dissintegrated.

No it didn't but I dare say they can supply those as well. The guy told me that there was no need to buy entire new ones as all spares are available. It only costs a phone call.
