Leaky fuel line at the pump
Photos?
What are you using for a pump, exactly? Some Carter etc performance pumps are pipe thread and require an adapter for inverted flare.
Unless the fitting was changed "by someone," it is in fact "inverted flare" same as a brake line. Most likely 5/16" If the fitting is built into the carb, and the steel line fits it directly, NO sealer is needed. If the pump is pipe, and has the required adapter, sealer SHOULD be used at the pipe thread fitting. If pipe thread, be careful not to overtighten, as pipe is tapered, and can crack alloy pumps.
"New" inverted flare, or a fitting that has been dropped, etc, can leak or at least be 'cranky' to seal.
Below is an inverted flare -- to pipe thread adapter. If you have a typical replacement pump, it should already "look like" the female part of this fitting. If you have (some) performance pumps, it may have pipe and will require this adapter
