Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

I need a brake bleeder such as a mighty vac?

Yes,.and if you are going to buy one you should consider the one that also switches over to pump pressure. I think the Mighty Vac 8000 is just the vac model and the 8500 is both vac and pressure pump. That tool is very handy for finding air leaks in two strokes.

I am not sure if that pump has check valves, is the pump mounted higher than the gas tank? If it is then it should have a check valve to prevent gas from just flowing back to the tank as the pump would lose prime when not operating. If the line to the carb is lower at that end than at the tank gas could siphon over to the carb from the tank all the time. The carb is supposed to have an electric operated fuel shut off valve, when the ignition is on the power holds the valve open, when the ignition is turned off the valve closes with a spring pushing the valve closed.

Tank pump carb are pretty much all at same height

Since I broke the vacuum gas stopped runnin out of pump

Whenever there is a low pressure system around I can sleep way longer. On a rainy day I could sleep 10-12 hrs straight. But when the sun comes up clear I am up and gone early and can go without sleep for days.

Could be, would you hear a loud click from the rocker arm being loose. He still has to find out where the gas is getting to the crankcase from.
