Rochester B on 1950 216. The carb is a 1952 or later (no part number available but two holes visable on crossbar). Truck sat for several months without running and carb was dry with red dust in fuel bowl. Took it apart for cleaning and flattening distorted gasket surfaces. Saw that the pump leather (?) was a little ragged along the bottom edge but seemed to seal when tested before assembly. Hard to tell how much is squirted into the throat looking down the carb since the pump discharge port is under the crossbar.
Any ideas before I tear the darn thing apart again? Can i pick up a replacement pump leather (and installation cone anywhere?
Thanks, Bill
Bill

Just found that the flat plate pump "rod" has to be replaced to get a new piston. Mike's wants over $20 for this part alone. Any ideas?.
