Hi Lee, don't know if this helps but years ago i had a H100 which like you say fill the 2 stroke tank up and it would slowly disappear. After days of messing about i removed the pipe that is connect to the inlet rubber and surely enough it dripped from the end, left it for a day or so dripping into a container it leaked out roughly what it had lost on the tank.

The fix for that was a new pump something gone AWOL inside pump ???

That too was a pain to start and smoked heavily for the first 5 minutes hope it helps.

See this thread, sounds like the old oil seal displacement problem.
Check your gearbox level, I'll bet its overfilled cuz it's filling up with 2-stroke.
