    Hello Mumbles.

    I put the fuel tank higher to verify your suggestion

    The top seal on the crank is probably worn and leaking (I have replaced the top crank seal at the same time I installed the new OMC tune up kit (points, condensers)

    Where does the drain line from the front of the manifold go?  It goes to the terminate on a nipple on one of the lower cover below the fuel pump (you may see it in the video)

    Also, is this a budget aftermarket fuel pump? I am not sure if it is Chinese version since it was there already. I have checked the tightening and it was good so far. I have a spare pump which I may swap it out this weekend.

    Opening the mixture needle slightly may help a bit, I have opened it additional 1/4 turn. Look like almost 2 turns now.
