Update #2 upon digging deeper into carb I found the cone shaped tower that holds the filter cover on was fractured where the fuel feed holes are. It is bonded together with something as it seems solid but I gave it an over coat of JB Weld as reinforcement. Perhaps the filter cover gasket was leaking and a PO torqued the little bolt too much. Can’t wait for the pump cover and gasket set to arrive and try starting motor. I’ll see about making some new gaskets for it. Anyone got a favorite sealer they use on filter covers like that? Thanks,GJ
