Re: Dual Carb woes

[Chris Wright <Christopher.Wright@Sun.COM>]

<x-flowed>The problem may be in the carb top with a blocked accellerator pump jet 
but it may also be in the accelerator pump (link not connected to 
throttle arm) or the pump itself ((Diaphragm stuck) etc,  or it may just 
be that there's no fuel getting into that carb because the needlevalve 
is stuck.  Take off the top and see if there's fuel in the float 
chamber.  If not, check the needle valve for being stuck closed, and 
replace if necessary. If there is fuel in there, work the accelerator 
pump and see if fuel bubbles up the tube that goes up into the top.  If 
it's there, then the accelerator pump is fine but the carb top is blocked.
