there are lots of pumps on internet with less worries and price of a diaphragm … some folks like them some don’t … snail mail service but cheap

some folks have cut some from nitrile work gloves material

If your 1960 still has the original pump, it has a two-layered diaphragm, held together with a diaphragm support washer and rivet. The diaphragm support washer keeps the spring in place. Try a different scheme and the parts are likely to skoot out of place and destroy the diaphragm. But go ahead and try. I did.

you will need this.. read 3 times before starting

scribe the outside edge of the parts on one side this will help you reorient (stack) the parts after

hold down the springs on their resting ” nipple” with a touch of crazy glue same for the little mushroom caps on the springs otherwise they fly away work on a large clean surface

i’ve down a few but…. I like the Chinese pumps .. it is easier

do a blow test after assembly air flows in to out but air does not flow out to in

Since I had diaphragm material I went ahead and made two new ones. Used a punch to carefully separate the rivet. Reused the rivet and washers, and seems to work.
I really wanted to try to keep the original pump. I know I could replace it with a newer square pump.

Thanks

Have you tried Marineengine.com? They have blown up diagrams where you can see what part you need. I often grab the model number and throw it into eBay to get cheaper prices and cheaper shipping.

Yes I tried them and several other online sites with schematics, no joy. Did you ever buy that sweet looking CD, minus a hood?

There are many replacement fuel pumps. Many members or Marineengine.com will have the correct one for you.
