I'm rebuilding a carb for a coworker's friend and Im not sure of the order of two of the gaskets on the fuel pump. One is a very thin rubber and the other looks like very fine woven material, like kevlar. Carb model WMB-3. Motor unavailable so I can't get ya'll SN#s. I have attached a link of the carb's exploded diagram. The gaskets in question are #6 and #21. If you click on the image it zooms in very well but, just like the actual gaskets, they are the identical shape.

One of the diaphrams on the thin rubber gasket had been sucked into a port and deformed. I suspect that the mesh one is there to prevent this but I'm not sure and it seems like it would prevent the rubber one from sealing properly.(?) Any help, as always, is very much appreciated!
Thanks,
