WTB: Carbs or parts

During a jetting change over the weekend I noticed that one of my diaphragms was torn slightly. Now I need a new one. Anyone have one? How about a whole set of carbs? My cost on a new one is $60 including tax, I'm thinking for that much I should be able to get more than one part! Thanks!

I read on another board where people were repairing their carb diaphragms by dipping them or giving them a very light spray of Plasti Dip. Even mentions diaphragms in their product literature.

I have thought about trying to repair it. I don't know if I feel comfortable with that, especially at racetrack speeds. I'm going to hold out for a couple of weeks and see what I can find used. If I don't have any luck I'll be stuck with paying for a new one.

Don't know if I'd do it, except as a temporary repair but liquid electrical tape is the same thing as Plastidip and would be easier to apply.
