Hmm, I don't recall doing that. I went back and rewatched the video that I used as a guide, and sure enough he preloads the diaphragm. Well, it looks like I'll be taking the pump back off to do it right.
In addition to the fuel issue, I went ahead and pulled the front left wheel cylinder off. It had a very slight leak, but enough to be noticeable. So I pulled it apart to check the bore and it looks like there are no gouges or scratches. The fluid inside was nasty with large green blobs. I have a brake hone coming from Amazon, and a rebuild kit coming from Max Merritt. I'm hoping this will firm up the brakes as they should be.

During the fuel pump rebuild, did you pre-load the diaphragm as you screwed the halves back together.
