You don't need an electric pump. You just need to fix your carburetor. Why spend money on something you don't need just to bandaid something else that needs to be fixed. People are always anxious to install an electric pump and in many cases it's a waste of time and money and is noisey. An electric pump also adds a fire risk bacause if your carb float sticks open your pump will just keep pouring out the fuel and flood the engine with fuel and one spark or engine backfire and you have quite a situation on your hands. Ask me how I know?

Q-jet well plugs are known for leaking all the fuel out of the bowl over night. There is a procedure for repair in cliffs carb book.
