hello there! When I rebuilt my carb couldn’t get the accelerator pump out..I expected it to drop out. Anyway, I put it all back together but I have noticed a load of dead play. Should the spring/piston always be in contact with the leaver? It is only acting on it for the last 1/4 of the levers opperation. Having problems with misfire/rich running. Wondered if this could be part of the issue? I have lapped the carb so the 2 body parts meet well now. Thanks, Joe
 
Hi Joe_M

Did you ever get this resolved? I took my carb to pieces last night and where the manual said "be careful that the accelerator pump does not drop out" I found that I could not remove the pump at all. It was nice and springy, but was NOT coming out.

I wondered if you ever sorted yours?

Thanks
Andrew
 
Hi Joe

Yes - Well, armed with this new knowledge I gave mine a good pull this evening and out it popped. No chance whatsoever of it falling out by accident! It was a little corroded but cleaned up a treat.

That link is excellent, thanks for posting.

Cheers
