25 hp fuel pump

[andbob1]

I have a 1979 25hp 25e79r and I have noticed a small amount of fuel spit out the back of the pump through a small hole, is this normal? The motor runs fine for a while at wot then seams like it is running out of gas. It also seams like it wants to go but speeds up and slows down like the gas is sloshing around in the tank. Any help would be appriciated.

No fuel leak is normal, need to get that repaired, either a fuel pump repair kit or a new fuel pump.

thanks, I have an old fuel pump that I will try before I order a new one.
