Gas pumping out of the weep hole

Bootybandit
Gas is flying out of the weep hole in the mechanical fuel pump.  Before I change it, is there a possibility it could be something other than the fuel pump?

Not really.  The pump has to be bad or the crankcase full of gas for it to come out there.  So pull the dip stick to make sure the sump isn't full.

Done.  Weird knocking noise is gone and it idles really good. There was a piece of spring sitting on the block hole when I pulled it out.   I guess now I should change the oil?  I could be crazy but it seems thin now.

Yes, change the oil.  It probably has gas mixed with it.

.... to a new engine, because gasoline is almost as bad a lubricant as blood.

I am now worried that you have lubricated your engine with blood.
