Mine fuel  pump is  leaking around the gasket  it original .

Tried tighten the screws still leaks .

Do not want to buy an aftermarket one.

Are they rebuildable and where to get the parts?

Its a kohler k301 12 hp

It always starts and runs good 

But it always takes some time cranking it over before it fires.

I ordered the kit hoping it helps. 

Thank you.

If this does not fix your issue, then you might consider switching to an electric pump. They usually render faster cold starts.

For the short money they are I keep one on the shelf. If the pump isn't too gunked up and check valves are good no need to buy a pricier then & now kit. 

 

I like to glass the pump halves as they can warp from over tightening. That said don't over tighten on a rebuild.
