Product Overview
A Honda 350 twin can idle normally yet bog, flatten out, or refuse to rev when a vacuum-slide diaphragm is stiff, cracked, or pinholed. After five decades, the rubber may fail even when the carburetor looks clean from the outside.
The pair services both carburetors so slide lift stays balanced from cylinder to cylinder. Some SL350 years and carburetor versions differ, and installation requires removing the retained old diaphragm without damaging the slide. Compare carburetor type, slide, lip diameter, and 16022-287-024 reference.
