Bootybandit Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Gas is flying out of the weep hole in the mechanical fuel pump. Before I change it, is there a possibility it could be something other than the fuel pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Not really. The pump has to be bad or the crankcase full of gas for it to come out there. So pull the dip stick to make sure the sump isn't full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootybandit Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Thanx, I'll get on it now. Done. Weird knocking noise is gone and it idles really good. There was a piece of spring sitting on the block hole when I pulled it out. I guess now I should change the oil? I could be crazy but it seems thin now.
