Re: Accelerator pump dribble


> Check the contents though because there are kits available which don't include
the accelerator pump diaphragms.  I found this out the hard way before
contacting Wayne.  Also, the quality of repro needle valves in some kits is
reputed to be poor.  I haven't found this but I've seen lots of discussion on
the T34 list about it.

Yes, I know about the needle valves.  We changed the needle valve on our Polo a
long time ago - then the 'new' one fell apart!  Replaced the old one (never
throw anything away, eh Jim?) and it was fine for years more use - to the end in
fact!

I can't recall if the Type 3 kits I have include the accel pump diaphragm.  I
saw someone a while ago had replaced the Type 3 brass bit onto a 34PICT-3 kit
diaphragm, so I'm sure something is possible with a bit of improvisation.
There are a couple of places I know of that restore carbs - one is around £100
per carb, another will do both for the same money, but I have not had any
feedback on the cheaper place, so I'm not sure I trust them to do a good job.
