carter fuel pump question. mercruiser 140 '75

[Lars0ne]

i just took my fuel pump apart and replaced the filter, gaskets and diaphragm. i tested the function of the pump and it didn't work, i found the 2 check valves, they were rusty and i tried to take 1 out but it broke. is there any replacement valves out on the US market, i can't find any here in sweden. please help i don't want to buy a brand new.




thats a pic of the valve in question. (removed from the housing)

They are considered 'non-serviceable' and should be replaced as a unit... Here's what I found here -> http://www.iboats.com/mall/partfind...&gd_poid=112251&gd_row=8&session_id=763485001

I know it's not cheap, but unfortunately, that's what BOAT means (Break Out Another Thousand)....
