face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The problem with any
material other than what is originally used is it will not flex properly.
Remember the vacuum and pressure within the crankcase is what makes the diaphragm
move. If it is too stiff it will not move at all. If it is too thin it will
move too much. It is only a few thousands in thickness. The diaphragm works
just like a reed. Both (there are two) have to match and both have to move
accordingly with the pressures within the crankcase. Change the variables and
they will not work. It has been my experience that usually all that is wrong is
dirt has gotten into the reed area and the diaphragm will not seat. If this
happens the pump will not pump or allows fuel to flow through it unchecked. If you
disassemble the pump it is very critical to lay everything out as removed and reinstalled
exactly as removed. If you follow this procedure and after cleaning everything
the pump should work. But rotate a diaphragm or install backwards and the pump
will not work. I have taken many pumps apart and have always gotten them to
work afterwards. Beside if it is not working now what have you got to loose. <o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
