I have a 1988 Yamaha 200 - L 200 EXTG<br />The fuel pump diaphragms keep wearing out after just one season. I heard that they were recalled. <br />I purchased some new ones to keep form buying the whole pumps but I need some help on how to install them. The spring in the pump distorts the diaphragm when I try to assemble it. Any tips. Thanks for any help. Paul

Re: Fuel pump diaphragm installation

Hello<br /> I have not heard of any recalls but sometimes we are the last to know. its not uncommon on older yammi's to pop diaphrams. if it lean sneezes it can pop them so its imperative to insure the motor is set up correctly. some distortion is permissable when assembling the pump. that is why I just repalce them and not rebuild them. my time is billed at 7o per hour so I dont save my customers anything by rebuilding the pumps.<br />good luck and keep posting
