fixing “check valves” on 2 stroke engines WITHOUT replacing parts (string trimmers, chainsaws)

Can these rubber discs be ordered?

Big thanks. A while back I made a mistake thinking that I would clear a CLOG by inserting a wire brush bristle into a check valve on a purge bulb of a carb. I actually destroyed the tint rubber disc by poking a hole in it. A week ago, I did like you instructed and extracted the brass fitting to see the parts under an electronics repair microscope. Some rebuild kits contain a replacement rubber disc but they are rare. Nice job showing the parts and procedure.

[@notajp]

I’ve read that you can use a small gasket punch and cut new discs out of a spare rubber pump diaphragm. I haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to. Got a lot of spare unused parts from old carb kits. Can’t buy new valves from Zama, so……….
