Stromberg Question
Ok, so I got a carb kit for my stromberg 175cd carbs and rebuilt them, only to find the bypass valve diaphragm is rotten on each. I am having trouble finding replacement parts online, and my local parts stores don't carry them. (Autozone, NAPA, as well as some local import-only shops) As I try to track them down I am wondering if there is an alternative fix I can do for these things. They arent completely gone, just have holes wearing in them. Is there any silicone-like stuff I could maybe use that wont get eaten by fuel? I understand some people run with these valves plugged but that is a little extreme. Would it be ok to just run them as-is until new ones are found? again, the holes arent too bad, but need fixed. Any help would be great! thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I was referred to a local European auto shop tucked away down town here in Boise, and they said they could order me some by Monday at $30 each. This is a bit spendy but I may do it anyway. I am going to attempt that fix you suggested Leedsman, and hopefully it gets me by while i wait for some cheaper ones to come. I recall finding a vendor in Georgia that sold them, but I'm not sure if it is the same one, I will definitely check them out. The cheapest I saw them for was about $10 each, so as long as shipping isn't $40, then I will save quite a bit.
