"I have a 40 hp Johnson (1987) with VRO. The motor has been sitting for six years and I’ve rebuilt the carbs-pretty gunked up, and now have replaced the fuel pump and pulse limiter. When I started the engine I immediately noticed a spray of gas coming from where the outflow fitting attaches to the pump body. This looks like a glued connection, not screwed down as on the previous pump. Before I return it and complain is there anything that could cause the pump to be over pressurized? I think replacing the fuel pump fixed the problem, but I didn’t want to run it too long with raw gas spraying all over the place."
