There ARE no "perfectly good parts" on an 80s vintage Pulsa-Jet carburetor
:-/

The old Vacu-Jet worked a lot better, but didn't have the "automatic"
(automatically applies exactly the wrong amount of choke every time) choke
feature I guess.

A diaphragm that has been in service for some considerable time, then
is taken out and allowed to dry, might work a while longer, but....
if you want to mow the yard or till the garden, it is foolish to go in and
clean the carburetor and not install new elastomer parts, IMHO
