bikebudy Banned - Must pay $500 Mar 7, 2017 #2 Mar 7, 2017 #2 I don't have a lot to do with the diaphragm carb but, the only advantage is it can work on any angle. After working with my first diaphragm carb, give me a float carb any day when it comes to TEC engines. Just my opinion.

What size engine would you be using it on? 4 Hp (HS40) is about the limit for those. We have very good results with them. Michael

Sprocket86 Active Member Mar 8, 2017 #5 Mar 8, 2017 #5 All of the Tec diaphragm carbs that I've come across have a small venturi and some even don't have an idle circuit built in to them. One of these carbs would be good for a factory angle engine mount mini bike that would require the ultra hard to find HS40/HS50 slant intake manifold.
