Default VRO replacement

I've got a pair of 1992 140 hp Ocean Runners. I think the VRO pump is gone in one of them (Ethanol Victim?) because the motor sputters unless I pump the primer bulb. I've heard that there is an after market fuel only pump (I pre-mix). Can you give advice on this pump? Should I replace with original part, which seems to be in the $300 range, or can I go with this after-market pump? I would hope the after market is cheaper. Is there any way to tell if a re-build will be effective without looking at the pump? (I've heard that the housing becomes warped, and if that is the case then replacing the diaphram won't help.

Thank you for your time, and for sharing your knowledge.

Karl

A new pump assembly complete is #5007420 for $398

the pre-mix conversion kit pump is #5007522 for $339.95

Makes more sense to replace with a new new pump which is a significant improvement over your original 17 year old fuel pump.
