Alright i got the mech. fuel pump, i was leaking fuel, I found the one spot which was the line had a small hole from the clamp, the 2nd spot, Is on the underside of the pump opposite from where the lines connect, there is a small hole in the pump Any reason that hole is there? Ive never really noticed this leak before, is it possible that hole was plugged and needs plugged again?

Depending on how bad u want to ride, you can get a inline electric pump from advance. Thats what I run on my buggy. Its made by Mr Gasket, its the one with the red label, its a 2 to 5 pound pump. You can use it for 2morrow and once you get the mech pump replaced youll have a spare.
