rmaynard 14,932 #1 Posted June 13, 2015 A couple of weeks ago I asked Brian to send me a couple of his diaphragms that he makes for Kohler vacuum-style fuel pumps. They have been sitting on my desk, in front of the computer since they arrived. Well, today I started my 857 for the first time since putting it away in the shed last fall. When I parked it last year, I noticed that the engine would not keep running without being choked. I figured that I has some junk in the carburetor. But after removing the carburetor and cleaning it, I still had the problem. So I removed the fuel pump to find that the diaphragm was quite deformed, and actually stuck to the bottom of the pump. So I grabbed a new "buckaphragm", installed it, and voila, problem solved.Thanks again Brian for your quality part. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
