Mike, you mention a new fuel pump which may be the indirect cause of =
your problem, which first guess is a needle valve, valve the float =
operates on to stop gas flow when the float chamber is full, if the =
needle had marginal sealing capablities the new pump and its extra oomph =
may have put its ability to do its job and stop gas flow over the edge.

As a test you could swap the valves front and rear (simple operation) =
and see what happens, or just order new, they are pretty cheap and the =
new ones have a hard rubber seal that works better.

Second guess leaky float.
