Default Accelerator pump?

I seem to be having a hard time finding the correct accelerator pump for our carburetor. I need one that is compatible with the ethanol fuels but everyone I have called so far doesn't have them and the one our mechanic ordered is on back order until the end of May

Anyone have an idea of where I can get one before summer is over???

Google Cliff Ruggles for a Viton pump. Or contact Lars.

Thank you paul 74 and Karol. I read some of the thread mentioned and googled Cliff Ruggles, had to leave a phone message so I'm waiting for him to call me back.

Thank you Lars. I believe that is what the garage ordered but they said it was on back order and would arrive sometime around the end of May. So, I took care of it this morning and ordered a kit from Cliff Ruggles, it should be here by the end of the day on Friday.
