    I responded to your other thread where you are talking about waiting at the window chasing your tail awating your carb haha. about the oil on the pump. remove and clean thoroughly then re-install. then if it starts to build up, you'll find the culprit.

    I am using the adapter plates that came with the weber,.

    I wiped down the engine compartment last night when I got home today everything was soaked I'm concerned that this may turn into a disaster,. has anybody else experienced this issue

    also today while testing things out I noticed the emission control pump turning itself when I bought the RPM's up I found this odd as the belt was removed by PO. any ideas

    your oil leak issue is the fuel pump itself. there is a small weep hole on the bottom of the pump. the internal diaphram has an oil seal that eventually wears out. once it wears out, it leaks oil all over the place via that small weep hole. replace the pump and all gaskets and you will be golden again. while you are there, replace all your fuel lines. oil soaked lines dont last :waytogo:

    before I use my spare fuel pump, is it cool to run straight from the stock pump to a weber 32\36 I ask because the paperwork i got from weber said something about a In-line fuel regulator, do I need that or are they just trying to sell me more **** I don't need

    7 psi fuel line and you need 4 psi no more to the carb if so you will run rich
    or blow a gasket
