Recently discovered fuel in my oil/crankcase, discovered a tiny tear in the blue diaphragm of my fuel pump (OMC part # 435352). I bought a rebuild kit which includes this blue diaphragm, but it did not include a diagram of the lower end of this pump. My repair manual and all online diagrams only show the external connections to the fuel pump itself. There are two screws holding the two halves of this fuel pump assembly together. I thought I took it apart and rebuilt it correctly but it did not seem to be creating any vacuum or pushing any fuel to the carb. I tried removing the fuel line from the pump to the carb and cranked the motor over but I got no fuel to the carb. When I squeezed the primer bulb, I got all kinds of fuel out of this fuel line.
So, any gurus out there that can describe the correct sequence of reassembly? I'm a little worried about how these gaskets and covers should be oriented on the top half of the fuel pump, because there's like a smiley face or a frowny face to one of the plates and the whole assembly is square so it can go together with a smile or a frown or a ) or a (. If that description makes any sense to anyone!
Appreciate the feedback.
