I noticed my fuel pump rebuild kit has two identical in shape diaphragm one-way valve gaskets. One is made of rubber and the other is made out of fibreglass. Both are about the same thickness. Anyone know why they give you these two when you clearly only need one? My carb originally had the fibre glass one but my curiosity has been peaked. Any got an answer? Thanks.

I'd rebuild it as it was,BUT the fiber gasket maybe intended to limit the travel of the rubber gasket.Maybe someone left it out<br />DHP
