Vacuum fuel pumps

I am in need of a new vacuum fuel pump for a modified Club Car golf cart with a Kawasaki FE290 motor . A new pump from the golfcart store or Kawasaki runs $60-$75. A new B&S pump (#808656) runs $25-40. I'm not sure what motor B&S uses this pump with but these pumps have the same size ports, same number of ports and the chamber appears to be close to the same size. The rebuild kits I find on Ebay look to be identical, same number of diaphragms, gaskets and valves. Can anybody tell me why the B&S won't work? I'm guessing that as long as they are about the same size they will pump at about the same rate. Saving 40 bucks looks good to me. I know this isn't technically a tractor but around the Lazy MF it gets used like one. And it cost me a lot less than a Gator or a Mule.

I'm not sure of you engine size--but,I've never had tro.with the plastic remote pumps.First,they work on anything I've had from 8hp.to 24hp.I think their all pertty much the same in amount of flow,and low pressure,your needle & seat shouldn't let it flood your carb.Second,I have had not so great luck with org.pumps I've rebuilt.
