I'm assuming the rebuilt pump is fully rebuilt? I/e the lever is good, as
is the bushing? If so, compare it with yours...if all ya need is a diaphram,
then just do that.
I was going to rebuild mine, but in akin to the above questions I asked, my
lever had a major flat spot on it, and was loose as a goose, so i opted for
the Kragen 19.99 lifetime guarantee one...doens't look original, but works
fine.
