    Well, first things first buddy, gotta tend to the overheat?  How strong is the water outlet under the pan, good stream?  Perhaps just the thermostat?

    Having to pump the fuel bulb constantly usually means the fuel pump is weak, but not necessarily!  Perhaps there is an air leak somewhere in the fuel lines leading to the fuel pump.  Or, perhaps there is debris in the filter/tank/problem with tank pick up/vent.

    Do you have another tank to try?  Please do NOT rip apart that fuel pump, getting it back together properly is very tough, and new ones are very expensive.
