I have fixed the problem by changing the diaphram .
As far as cavitation is concerned what you say is true but it comes in other forms as well like constricting a liquid which is what I think is happening in our engines pumps.

What problem are you having with the pump?
I've read of some having wear issues, but I've never had any pump problems at all.
Over the years, there have been a number of problems people have experienced, of which I haven't. The only real problem I had was with the backplate sensor when the CDI's first came out. I came up with a fix for that and had very few issues with the 170 and less with the 175. Well over 400 flights on my 185's now and the only problem is the broken carby housing, which is a first for me.
Maybe I've been lucky, but I prefer to think it's because I know what I am doing.
Lol.
