That exact thing happened to me.

Jim---If  this is like the aftermarket pump I saw many years ago, the lever 
pin/pump  body needs to be staked on both ends. Otherwise the pin will work 
its way back  out again.

List, I  proceeded to remove the fuel pump after work last night.  Used  a
hemostat to crimp the fuel line below the filter.  (Received many  tips on 
that
by the way)  Removed the fuel line to carb, bone  dry.  Removed the line 
from
the tank, fuel present.  I took off  the pump and found that the arm that 
fits
in the block and rides on the cam  was not attached to the pump!  The pin 
that
holds the arm in the pump  and spring had somehow worked their way loose.
Anyway, refit the pin and  other needed parts, refit the pump and she runs 
like
a top again.  I  never would have guessed that  one.
