Fuel Delivery Issue

[sah440]

Not getting fuel to my 1982 Johnson. When I squeeze the bulk in the gas line it does not become firm. Rather gas leaks from the fuel pump. The fuel pump it pretty basic from that I can tell (http://www.boats.net/parts/search/BRP/JOHNSON/1982/J25ELCNE 1982/FUEL PUMP/parts.html)

Am I right in assuming that a bad gasket in the pump could be the only cause?

If leaking from the back portion of the fuel pump, the diaphragm is usually shot. Repair with the repair kit or replace the pump.
