Sounds like the diaphragm in the fuel pump might have a small hole in it. Turn off the fuel petcock and remove the 5 philips screws on the pump. You can check the rubber diaphragm when the top is removed from the pump. If it has leaked much, you might have gas in the oil - you want to check that. New fuel pumps are available, and easy to change. They're not exactly cheap, though.

There is also information about using an early Chevy diaphragm and making it fit the GW pump and only costs about $6.

but the rebuild is rather hard and being new to oldwings its best to replace now
