Stanley,
I would recommend getting the full kit with gaskets, plastic washers, and diaphragm. When you have the top off the tank, clean everything up and check the condition of everything inside. Make sure the valce disc is free to move. The diaphragm in the one I rebuilt was disintegrating and pieces of it would end up in the carburetor. They are not too tough to do. If you can rebuild a carb you can handle the pressure tank kit. Once it’s done it’s done for a long time. Worth the peace of mind. I also avoid ethanol gas in all my outboards and other small engines these days. Ethanol breaks down rubber parts and corrodes carburetors.
The one I did has the aluminum button. I have another one of those and a plastic button tank to do yet.
