MI 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.

We're having a meet in a couple of weeks. Look in the Midwest section for details. Bring your car and we'll educate you on your needs... I think it's like March 21st. And at Craig's Cruisers in Grand Rapids...

A rebuld kit will cost like 30 bucks, and take a weekend if you take your time and drink lots of beer. It will come with the AP parts...

Keep in touch since you're local to me.
