I've dealt with this and can tell you the fix. Get a pump from any 1986-1989 900. Some time before 1986 they changed the rubber parts to be ethanol resistant (but I can't recall what year) and that pump system fits right in to the earlier cars. There is a main pump with a pre-pump clamped to the basket, a pick up screen and a bellows that clamps to the hole in the tank just like the original one. It's a good idea to empty and swab out the tank too. There's nothing else in the fuel system that is ethanol sensitive (as far as I can tell). To change to a post 1989 style pump you'll need to change the tank too.
