Holy Cow!!!, Now I am thoroughly confused and miffed. I DID NOT dismantle the diaphragm that was new. (Nor the old one..the diaphragm that I took out was not sandwiched between the plastic frame). The K&L kit does not come with that plastic frame so I am assuming I have to dismantle the new diaphragm to put it on the existing frame? Can this even be done? It looks to be a pressed item.

No, there is no way to dismantle the diaphragm itself, all pressed together. The diaphragm has two rubber panels to it. Gently pull them apart and Just flex the rubber panel of the diaphragm on the spindle side and fold it around the spindle and push it through the hole in the plastic spacer, careful not to tear it. The side of the diaphragm with the aluminum disc has to go on the side of the plastic spacer with the circular counterbore.
no I don't think you are an idiot, just a bit confused....not a problem, that's why I went out to the barn, shot pictures, and posted them for you....
understandingly as the end of the world is just an hour and a half away....I hope you get 'er done in time to ride....
Why not just replace the thing with an OEM and send the carb bowls to SISF for overflow tubes? Anything you are trying to accomplish will be done by this.
Just ordered a new petcock from Murph. After all, I got her put back together and she still leaks. I am tired of messing with the darn thing. Wasted too much time as it is. My riding season here is too short as it is. And overflow tubes are on my list this winter. Here that SISF.
