fuel leak or auxiliary fuel pump malfunction?

Once the carb bowl fills, the carb float closes the valve that allows more
fuel in to the carb. This prevents excess fuel from being poured into the
carb and eventually leaking out. The original poster needs to check a
little deeper and figure out exactly where the fuel is coming from. If it
is excess fuel coming from the carb bowl, there is a problem with the carb
float or the valve it controls. Perhaps the carb float has sunk, stuck, or
is improperly adjusted. It is also possible that the valve no longer seats
properly due to wear or some sort of obstruction.

Another possiblilty is a leak in the fuel strainer valve that only manifests
itself with the aux pump on...

Could be wrong, but am thinking the SP is fuel injected.

Apologies in advance if it is not.
