With air box off look into the throat of the carb and twist the throttle. You should see a stream of gas shoot into carb throat. If yes its ok, if not, time to replace.
Use the questionable diaphram and try working the accelerator linkage and look for squirt, if yes you have a new spare coming, if not use the new one. And if carb is off bike then fill the bowl then work the linkage. Hopefully it squirts lol.
I may not have been clear. I have a Piston Diaphragm coming, not Accelerator Diaphragm. Of note, I saw a picture of one on ebay, and it does not appear to have a groove, so the diaphragm may have just been stuck. I will post an outcome for future reference. Thanks!
