1962 Evinrude 40hp alive, but leaking fuel

[outlawfox13]

Well i finally got my cab kit and impeller put into my Evinrude Lark, and while running i noticed fuel leaking from what i think is the fuel pump. It seemed to be leaking from what looks like a weap hole on the back side. I tried covering it with my finger, pressure built up and then fuel sprayed out like a quick burst. Also when i blocked it the motor started to stall. So does anyone know what this is??? Thanks for any and all advice given. Mike

Got a pic? Did you not rebuild the fuel pump? You may have a hole somewhere in the diaphragm.
