Ray,
 
Probably not possible to recover this, but I'll ask. My friend sent the pump back to his engine rebuilder in exchange for a new one. All handled "in warranty" so no cost to him but the trouble; still I thought it interesting that a number of folks are finding similar problems.

Bad manufacture and or rebuild is always a possibility.  Compare serial numbers and rebuilder and date.  I will check the one I changed and post the number.

Larry,
 
Helped a friend troubleshoot a fuel problem with his IO 360 in an RV-8. New pump on a rebuilt engine. It had supposedly been test run before shipping. One of the internal check valves was deformed when pressed into the pump body when the pump was manufactured. No way it could work properly. Do you suppose there's a batch of bad ones out there?
