Old cork floats for me have not been nice ...mis-behaving mostly.
Particles float off and plug the carb. Do they not make an upgrade float for yours?
Kind of a no brainer.
2 different problems. No shortcuts unfortunately.
Fuel pumps both have the same reliability...your vro probably just needs a new diaphragm and a oring or two.
I would pull that pin and clean/lube it.
Salt water motor.
Torquing the tube nut solved my noise on my E-tec. Noise was slightly different.
Heat and wax is your friend.
