HI. I'm adding my two cents to this, which is a very old post, but very important! We have taken apart my sure flo that looks like this picture and boy did it have a bunch of gunk in it. It came apart in many directions at once, so I'm not sure the order of the parts, hopefully we get it right when we put it back together.
The new replacements don't look anything like this part, so it's hard to find. the new parts look just like the intake strainer valve for your engine. They have a clear plastic cup. That is the strainer that you can unscrew easily, clean, and put back without having to labor over hoses and plumbing tape. I want to take a shower now, so I am cleaning the old one! But I can't tell you how long it's taking me to figure this problem out. In a following post I'll take a picture of the part that is a replacement.
