During carb tuning found accelerator pump leaking

I'm having acceleration hesitation on my 1979 (08/78) and decided to tune the carb. Upon looking, the accelerator pump seems to be leaking fuel. Should the entire pump be replaced, or may it just be the diaphragm? I'd like to find a carb that easily bolts on to a bone stock 1979 with the thermal reactor intact. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

You can replace just the diaphragm.
