I just had a walbro 255 fail on me. Still pumped fuel but didn't maintain pressure, even when pinching off the return line. For me, AFR went from stoich to 16-17.

Something as simple as an exhaust leak can do that too, outside air gets sucked into the hole at low loads, tricking the o2 sensor it's lean.
