Looking in my book, I was looking at the fuel sender
when I was talking about the "seal", not the pump.
There is no gas leaking from the fuel line or from the
pump that I can see. There is a little gas leaking
from somewhere, but like I said, this has been
happening for a while. I know I need to fix it.
Pump is pumping and spark is sparking. However, the
pump seems to continuously pump.
Suggestion by another list member that the autochoke
is stuck in the wrong position...
