Typically I see fuel leaking from the gasket seal (#10) when I have he engine tilted up. Not a lot but some. I think the intake cover and gasket is supposed to collect any excess fuel item (41 and 28 along with gasket).
Any tips on making this a better seal? A couple of the bottom screws are...

Well the boat test went better than hoped! Warmed it up at the dock then put it in gear and all went well. Ran at 1/2 throttle for 15 min the full throttle for another 15 -20 min. Took a look at plugs and they looked pretty normal.
Started well each time.
Thanks optsyeagle!!! Your...
Went out and got the plugs B7HS and what do you know. The beast fires up on second pull.

New pump on order and we can talk in a few days.
So the check valves on this block should be activated by my breath much like the final assembled test?
Based on my pump fuel will come into the chamber in green and through the valve and then return through metal side(red) and out to carb? There is a passageway connecting to chamber on right...
Could not get this pump assembly to pass the blow test. Tried a ton of times and went over all instructions and some videos to problem solve what I could be doing wrong. I could not find anything.
I think part # 329974 could be defective. Any way to test this component?
I may end up buying the...
Here the exact way I had assembled it. Small spring was on the right hand side of block.
The base has no parts that can fail? Air freely blows through.
