Or the fillings in your back teeth reacting to the harmonics that an M151 generates...and the fillings beginning to break loose from all the vibration...

I have both the fuel tank pump, that works and a mechanical pump where the vacum pump was located on the engine. Wonder if you can pump too much fuel to the engine?

If you get a crack in the diaphragm of the mechanical pump you will fill the crankcase with gas! It is not unusual for a 40 year old diaphram to crack.
