Accelerator pump in a Carter B&B


Recommended Posts

Posted

Trying to rebuild my B&B carb and received a different accelerator pump. The one on the left is a new one for a D6G1 from mike's carburetor. The one on the right was taken from my carb. Anyone know why they are different, as this is supposedly for a D6G1. Need to get this thing rebuilt so I can get her running some day soon.:confused:

Thanks as always for any info...GREG

I just rebuilt mine and notice a 'flat' spot on initial acceleration....i think the accelerator pump isnt working as it should....im thinking I should replace it because it doesnt flare out enough to pump correctly because the shaft is tapered. Any suggestions?

Did you soak it in light oil over night before installing? Is the linkage set in the proper hole in the actuator lever?

I did not soak the piece in oil overnight...I read the instructions in the box and it said to flare the leather...should I remove and soak it?

It should soak up in the gas but the oil seems to be a bit better/faster.

Its been soaking in the gas...but the leather isnt flared out enough to pump from the initial stepping on the gas pedal causing a 'flat' spot at take off.

I was almost thinking of putting another spring underneath the leather on the pump...Anyone have any suggestions to correct this? :o

Maybe a 10 minute soak in laquer thinner to remove the varnish and then an over night bath in oil would bring it back to life.
