accelerator pump leaking

I smelled gas when I was getting ready to leave work today and after a little sniffing around I saw the accelerator pump leaking down onto the front lifter cover. Made me wonder about a couple of things. The first being what parts do I need and could I buy them seperately or as a kit? The second was if I needed to remove the carb or can it be done on the bike? Carb is a stock CV40.

Thanks.

3 screws holds it in and it can be done on the bike.

You'll have to remove your aircleaner and backing plate to get to it, but it's an easy fix.

As well, it's a separate part sold at your dealer.

Thanks Dave, I picked up the diaphragm and two little o-rings at the dealer. I was able to change everything without removing the backing plate, just the football air cleaner cover.
That went so well that I removed the philip screws from the fuel bowl and replace them with a set of Yost fuel bowl speed screws. I like them but i gotta be real careful not to make them too tight because you get a real good grip on the 5/16 hex heads.
Also replaced the diaphragm in the petcock for the gas tank too.
Hoping to be leak free now and maybe even get a few miles per tankfull.
