Funny how many "design flaws" crop up after 30 or more years. The first time the hose came off it was an accident and or a failed part. The second time it was due to an inadequate repair and inattentiveness on the part of the owner.
How about a little preventative maintenence including the replacement of dry, checked and failing hoses?
Sounds like the OP is going to Band Aid the engine repair and likely grenade it again if he doesn't get the injection pump checked out.
The common Stanadyne/RoosaMaster governor ring failure does not cause increased return flow; more commonly return flow is reduced due to debris blocking the return line check valve. I'm certain TX Jim knows this, I'm simply expanding on his thought.
