Brian Asbury has rebuild kit rubber diaphrams for the T-16 fuel pump. I got one from him a few years ago when I was rebuilding the one for my carrier. It seemed to work OK with modern fuel but only time will tell as it sits exposed to the ethanol mixture.

Because of fuel/pressure issues I ended up hiding a remote modern electric fuel pump to ensure 3.5psi of fuel. It also prevents flooding when things are hot and you shut down the engine which would then have made it impossible to restart without sitting an hour. I'm still pushing fuel through the orignial fuel pump but am not using the lift rod on the engine which would pump the diaphram.
