Strip it, clean it, remantle it and pray.
Worked for me. (Might involve lots of swearing.)

Re: Diaphragm question again !!!!!!
Ok so the tap is on and working fine but not a GT550 it's a GS550 tap that needs a little bit of fettling to fit but does work
Slightly different angles of both vacuum pipe and fuel pipe you need to use a slightly longer vacuum pipe but the front looks the same stamped with FUEL,PRI,ON, & RES
Also found that a Kawasaki Drifter diaphragm will work all that's needed is a little trim around the pointed end bit when assembled.
