Yes. Did the same. Couldn’t get fuel to stop flowing to carbs. Tried a couple of kits no luck. New fuel tap. Problem solved!

I've refurbed a few with no problems
As long as there is no corrosion on the tap parts it should be fine but you need to clean everything and a good idea to give the diaphram spring a little stretch to perk it up

Carb cleaner and a little fine scotchbrite pad for stubborn crud if required

Yep swap it
From memory you need a layer of the diaphram each side of it so you need to pop one layer through the hole
