You call them with the part number that's stamped into the mounting flange.

They are nice people to talk to. Sent them a cell phone photo
of my diaphragm. Still got the wrong one. Called them, we all had
a laugh. Everybody knew what was supposed to be in the box.

As Forest Gump said " It happens."

Correct part showed up a couple of days later and I sent the other back.
No harm, no foul.

If you can't call I'd suggest an email as they answered mine quickly.
Include a photo of your diaphragms.

Take care,
Brian

I'm sure it does Giancomo, but I called and ordered it over the phone,
describing the pump I had. It came in a box in several bags.

I believe there is a part number for that kit for that pump, but the
diaphragm shafts could have been changed with the other necessary
parts in the pump somewhere in the past, so you have to specify which diaphragms and shafts you have.

Most everything is pretty generic between these series of pumps, as
long as you get the right number of valves, etc except those shafts,
and whether you have the priming handle and parts.

One other item that is different is my pump had three thin diaphragms
whereas the kit only had one thicker diaphragm. That is what they supply
now.

Giacomo,
I was able to dig up my shipping invoice for my pump kit.

I have pump AC9810.

The part number for the kit they sent me was FPK AC9810.
I do not know if this will fit your pump exactly.

Again, you must tell them what rods you have.

Take care,

Hi,
Yes, I agree. Unfortunately their website doesn't show any of those types of part numbers for kits.

I spent the better part of an afternoon going through their website and gave up and called them.

Researching their website for a part number as I did will get you nowhere. I asked why they don't have it listed on the website and they told me that they do not list them because they need to know what style pull rod you have so they can send you the correct kit. When I ordered my kit from them for my m38a1 I had sent them an email telling them the number on the side of my fuel pump and they asked what style pull rod I had. If you haven't heard from them you might try calling them or sending another email as they may not have received it as I got a rather quick reply back from them and got my parts within a week.
