If it doesnt, you need a new diaphragm. Next check for vac on the brown tube.
Remember, these are just some of the first things to test. The vac leak could potentially be anywhere in the system. If you have other vacuum-related problems, it's probably a clue as to where the leak is. There's lots of info. on how to test the system if you do a search. Diesel Giant also has a pictorial on it; if you haven't seen that, I suggest you check out www.dieselgiant.com.
