    About that diaphragm: The end of the push rod where the diaphragm support washers go must be square and flat. If the metal is corroded away, it certainly will leak. Likewise, the support washers must be flat and not rusted. If distorted, you can flatten them with a tap of a hammer. Finally, use a dab of fuel-proof gasket sealant on the end of the push rod where the support washer meets it.
