It will be next to the fuel pump with some wires coming out of it, give Pete B a shout he's the gm boffin.

The fuel pump on a CM152 is an old fashioned style lift pump with two valves between the two halves. Not uncommon to get a piece of crud stuck in a valve stopping it from sealing properly. Strip it an clean it it, remove the tank and give that a right good swill too.

 

I am mentioned the fuel shut off solenoid which is on the same side as the pump but at the front of the engine, near where the throttle cable goes to. If it is okay, the should be a resounding click off of it when you press the oil pressure override button when you first go to start her up.

 

Thanks for the mention in despatches Ian, yes, I know I am an old bugger who has been around them for a few years!
