    Sure can. It has a plyable diaphragm that dries up and cracks.

    Uh huh. The check valves can get sticky and the diaphragm can dry out and crack allowing fuel into the crank case.

    When you take your line off the pump to the tank, make sure fuel will drain out. You could have a plugged filter and or line.
