Ok just spent some time in the trailer getting ready for the part to arrive tomorrow and confirming a few things.
First the Check valve is out. Gas flowed out of the oil port like crazy on the fuel pump so that's definitely not clogged right? I plugged it for now.
The hose on the check valve to the pump was really hard and was squirting around the fuel pump nipple as I tried to get it off too. I am 99% sure the valve or hose was the leak.
Right now I have paper towel under the hoses and next to the fuel pump. It will be obvious when I check if they are dry or wet. I feel like smell of gas was immediately dissipating once I pulled the valve and plugged the oil port on the fuel pump. And things seemed to be much dryer. I could see the gas spreading last night even after I had just wiped it up.
The interesting thing is I can't blow through the check valve in either direction though. That seems odd right? Maybe it froze up since this happened?
I didn't move the carb rack yet to bleed the oil pump but I thought pulling on the oil cable would force some oil up through the hose that has had the check valve removed, but I got nada. Is that typical?
