RE: Found a fuel leak...

A few further thoughts.
I took photos at every removal point - saved the day for the mechanic when we were trying to figure out the spring attachment points.
The scribe line is on the aft side of the pump between the pump and the adaptor plate. Make sure you can see it before you remove the pump.
The aft inside hold down bolt is a nightmare - figure on only a couple of degrees of movement so lots of flipping of a flat wrench.
Caution when you remove the throttle attachments - the spring will propel the little linkage plate an incredible distance.
I've ended up with a small oil leak/weep between the adaptor plate and the engine block (none of its bolts were touched) so I'm going to try cleaning it and using a fillet of Permatex.
Have fun
