    Did you check to see if the fuel pump was flooding the engine?
    I understand being nervous about removing that core plug. Maybe just use a hand drill and slowly bore through the core plug with a 3/16" bit, stop once the drill starts to break through the bottom of the core plug. Slide a small punch through the hole then pop it sideways, the core plug will pop right out.
