They told me I had to buy a new pump at $79.00 as the rebuild kit was NLA, but that led me to find out the following, which is part of another article I wrote, read on:
Another thing to note is that the fuel now contains ethanol and most likely the fuel pump diaphragms will need replacement if your engine is over 5 years old, or has not been run in a long time. Although OMC/Bombardier does not list a fuel pump rebuild kit, the kit that is available from Sierra Marine works on 1982 and earlier 9.9-15 fuel pumps, and be advised Sierra does not tell you this either, but the parts are correct. These pumps are a bit tricky to fix, but here is a link on how to do it:

Needless to say, I just did mine as well.
