I guess the only thing I can do is clean the plunder and put it all back together.

Also the diaphram listed in other threads is some type of film. the only diaphram in mine is a thin metal sheet. But no damage.

Doherty,

The FD plunger is raised up by the air plate lever (arm). The control fuel pressure is the acting force (resistance) working against the plunger to keep it from bouncing up and down during operation. There is no spring any where inside the FD.
