WD40 will do nothing at all to fix a cracked or split diaphragm.


It might possibly help soften up a dried out stiff diaphragm...


It WILL unstick a stuck valve block.   Shoot it liberally into the 
fuel inlet opening, then shake it like you're mixing a vodka martini 
for Commander Bond.    Don't forget to put your finger over the inlet 
opening.
