Thanks for the replies.
Today I run a quick test with a funnel straight into the carburetor cutting off the fuel pump and the engine ran just fine.
So I think that the pump is the issue as you guys predicted.
I have the mechanical pump. It is worth to refurbish or replace with a new one or I should just go with an electric?
I thought about the pressure gauge. I still have the rigid fuel tubing, so I guess it is a good time for an upgrade. I will do some research on the topic but I guess it is down to get the right fittings and tee the pressure gauge.
I have to admit that I am having a lot of fun with this engine. It reminds me when I serviced an engine for the first time. It was a Moto Guzzi V7.
From knowing nothing about it you end up knowing each single bolt of it. On a sailboat it is even a more valuable knowledge.
