well today i decided to get this erude going,so i connect the fuel lines from the tank and pull the choke and pump it a couple of times but notice that the line wasn't building up pressure.when i open the hood i noticed that fuel was spayed all inside the motor and hood.after a closer look at it while i pumped it fuel was spraying out of the fuel pump,i put an attachment of the fuel pump picture and you'll see in the diagram that part #5 a simple screw that screws into part#1 but the treads in part 1 are striped so its not sealing it tight so it leaks.my question ....is there anything that i could do to fix this without spending $80 for a whole new pump?is there anyone that has come across this problem....i did get this motor running for a bit and wow are these ever quiet
