Milky discharge coming from the prop area is usually from raw fuel/oil in the exhaust housing.   Look for a pin hole in the fuel pump diaphragm, a carb float level that is set too high, or an ignition issue that is causing inconsistent firing, or firing out of time.   

Could it be too rich of a mixture?    I am replacing the fuel pump as well.   Firestone is back to life. Started on first pull with the push button choke

Yeah.  Because of the reasons I listed above.   

The result of....high float level, hole in diaphragm, fouled plugs.....is "overly rich mixture"..
