Terri-Many years ago I had a boat with a 165 HP Volvo with three SU carbs. I was
way offshore trolling in the Atlantic off the Keys. When I put the power to it,
no go. Upon investigation it found one slide not opening. I took it apart and
found a tear in the diaphram. I used a flat piece of plastic from a Zip-Lock
sandwich bag. Sounds crude but I sandwiched it next to the diaphram. Got me home
fine. Needless to say I replaced it ASAP. Not a permanent fix, but can get you
out of a pinch.
