  If the pump is good then it should run just fine.  Just be sure to 
time it for the pump not the engine (1.0mm?)  The boost 
enrchment won't be active since you'll have no pressure even 
available to go in the hose and push on the aneroid.  Off boost 
fueling should be similar to about any other pump set up for the 
same size of engine.  :-)
  Sounds like you have a leak on the return side.  Might be one of 
the washers from the return banjo or the return hose is brittle and 
crackedd a bit when you pulled the pump.  The small injector return 
hoses could easily leak as well...
