[AMC-list] Leaky fuel pump, or way too rich a mixture?

[Bruce Griffis <bruce.griffis@xxxxxxxxx>]

While fiddling with my Rambler, I decided to give it the old sniff test.
The oil seems nice and thick, but has kind of a gas smell to it. How can
I tell if the smell is because I messed up the float or needle or
whatever - and dumped too much fuel in it, versus a leaky fuel pump?

I've got my old fuel pump that didn't leak (but also didn't work the
wipers), and my replacement pump (that I'm not sure if it's leaking, or
if I goofed the carb up, and the wipers still don't work).

Any recommendations? I know it pumps fuel - when I turn the bolt on the
crankshaft, the engine turns and the fuel pump dumps gas (I disconnected
the fuel pump from the carb and ran a line to a bucket). I just don't
know if I'm getting gas in the oil, and if so - where it might be coming
from.
