Now:

For sake of mention, I *have* rebuilt fuel pumps from scratch by 
dismantling the internals and replacing diaphragms.   I have some 
more of the "good" material I got from John Moody a while back when 
he quit doing pump stuff.

Not so easy to replace check valves though, so if one of them is bad 
it's easier to replace the entire valve block if you can find one... 
depending on the pump vintage and manufacturer, the valves sometimes 
are pressed/knurled in place and are almost impossible to get back 
out without ruining the block.  Then again, some will press out 
easily... depending on who made the block.

The real trick is getting around that staked washer securing the top 
gasket/diaphragm to the shaft... ;)
