Hi Russ, I looked but couldn't find that service bulletin on your page- theres one about hard starting that talks a bit about the accelerator pump- is that the one you meant? I have early model carbs on my late fasty- the ones with the piston in the choke release mechy rather than a diaphragm. IIRC there was a diference between the earlier model and the late in that the later has a boss added to the "Y" piece with the stud, for screwing the aircleaner to, to stop the choke butterfly before it rests on the brass tubes. The early ones don't so I guess I'm heading for more troublesome pipe swallowing ;-( Unless I drive very slowly all the time ;-) Most of the carbs in my collection have these tubes missing and I can't really afford to lose any more. I think (hope) I stuck the replacement in with high strength retainer.
