Do diaphragm carburettors only work with a reed valve
or will they work with just a pulse from the crank case no reed valve?

Just looking at weather one of these could cure clearance issues.

By diaphragm carburettor, do you mean one that does away with a float bowl and replaces it with a flow of fuel delivered by a diaphragm pump which is operated by pressure pulses within the crankcase?

Such carbs are common on jet-skis.

Those are the ones.

Did you run a reed valve on the motor or did it run fine
with a vacuum hose from the crank case?

That looks just the Job.
Are you engaged in making it run of a lambretta motor?

I've acquired a crappy Indian 150 engine case and once I've built my TT3
I fancy playing around with one of these carbs.
