Hi Ken,
thanks for the response - have checked both accel. pumps and they are both squirting -
should it be a stream or a mist? Mine have a stream. Have also checked float level and
needle valves, and brass screens in carb inlets. all seem to be working ok.
Maybe there's an accel pump adjustment procedure I havent followed?
The PO put a new fuel pump in, is there any chance it's the wrong one and won't flow
enough under high load?
thanks for everyone's help!
