At the NW nationals my fuel pump failed. found that the diaphram came off the stem, and parts plugged the ports. So who has the Kits-all the lid gaskets ect.?? It is correct with the easy check valves. Newc

Newc,
Initially I built your pump using a different top portion....the original top was
compromised due to the fire. I know some changes were required after the trial fit
to your motor and that's OK no sweat. On average I build 25 pumps a month and to my knowledge I've never had a diaphragm fail for any reason. I'm over the top embarrassed by what you had to go thru especially after your herculean work
getting the truck ready. At your convenience...here or with a PM take me to the wood shed....never too old to learn.

You are first class, Charlie.

Charlie's pump did Not fail- it was not used. I used a core AC pump that was correct by appearance. Newc

Something to think about is whether or not an available or NORS parts kit has diaphragms and gaskets that are made with materials that handles today's fuels? This is one of the reasons that older/rebuilt pumps can die a miserable death after just a short running period.

Renners corner is the main place for the Model B fuel pump kits. I do not use his check valve discs, or diaphragm but use the remainder of his pieces. PS There is nothing wrong with his diaphram or valves I just prefer what I use.

Like Michael, I rely on Dave Renner for B fuel pump and carburetor parts. Like Bored & Stroked, I am wary of kits as often as not the diaphragms included won't last long with today's gasolines.
