Well, one more issue with the fuel pump. It's working fine and not spitting gas but all of a sudden there is an oil leak. I replaced the gasket and still leaking. I discovered that it was leaking around the little pin that the linkage pivots on. The replacement pin seems to be just a tad smaller. I cleaned the area thoroughly and used Marine Tex to cap both ends where the pin comes through the pump housing. No more oil leak. Maybe somebody can try this in the future if they run in to the same problem
