Fuel pump overflow discharge

1950 hudson six, vacuum fuel pump. I have gas spilling out of what I believed to be the overflow. Looking for thoughts? Perhaps it's a damaged diaphragm membrane? I took fuel pump bowl off and it was 1/3 full of sediment. Cleaned and installed new gasket. Motor starts and runs but still leaks out side overflow.

    Thanks for the detailed info and pictures. I will see if cowboy johns has the better quality rebuild but do other vendors sell the same quality kit?

    Its great to see a dining table that can not only accommodate food coffee and juice, but also car parts and a dial vernier caliper.

    That’s a gear head table, food and parts, lol. I’ve sat at that table once, Ken and Yolanda are good people. Also nice 50 with a Twin-H

    My wife caught me with a Carter WDO on the table about a month ago. She did everything but beat me with a broom!

    I’m still trying to desensitize her! Constant, steady pressure!
