Make sure the base of the fuel pump stand is level. The one that was on my 40 was bowed up in the middle. it was pushed up from many years of use. You can check it with a straight edge. That 3/16"loss of push rod travel made a difference

Will do. I have been able to flatten parts when needed using adhesive sanding discs on the deck of my table saw or joiner.
