I heard some one say a while back that the rubber diaphragms are supposed to be replaced every year. Has anyone done this?

I have heard of some who have checked the diaphragms and still okay as far as 750 hours or more.

I think the people saying to change the diaphragms yearly are the ones who sell the diaphragms (they are not cheap)!! You should probably post this same question on the zenith list also since there are a lot of Rotax guys there with the same carbs.
