Secondary Diaphragm

  1. Disconnect secondary diaphragm vacuum hose and attach a vacuum pump with hose to diaphragm port. Open throttle valve fully and apply vacuum. See Fig 1 . Check that diaphragm rod moves as vacuum is applied and that vacuum remains steady.
  2. If vacuum does not hold or rod does not move, check hoses for proper connection and condition. If hoses are okay, replace diaphragm and recheck.
