Yours for 15 bucks shipped.
Disclaimer: I took it apart one day to see if the diaphragm was still intact. Indeed it was...nothing wrong with the assembly. But after I put it back together the fuel flows when the switch is in the wrong position. So it still works just fine, but you can't go by what the "on/off/pri" tells you. You can remedy this by using clear fuel line or taking it apart and fixing it yourself.

The plate holding the knob in needs to be flipped 180* and put back on.The selector inside could be backwards also.The diaphram isn't the part that goes bad.The little plastic piece under the diaphram has a little rubber button under it that turns to goo and plugs the vacuum port.Here's a link to convert to non vacuum operation.

The cone shaped piece in it has a trapezoidal shaped slot in the front of it with the handle piece having a trapezoidal shaped protrusion. If you shoved the metal in the plastic with the trapezoidal piece the wrong way you probably crushed the plastic into a narrow X shape (trapezoid + trapezoid turned 180 = X) ... You can flip it and it works, but it may leak ...
I know, cos I did it that way ... more than once ...
Cool.
Buddha.
