question of the day
here is a pic i got out my Holley 1920 manual of the pump diaphragm.. I have been having many different issues with my carb and I know I need a new one but right now with a 20 day vacation coming up buying expensive unneeded parts is not an option.
I rebuilt the carb with the walker kit and an new float it adjusted fine and it runs good other than the occasional flooding issue and now and then percolation which I know I can fix with instructions from other methods found on here..
but after looking more at the diagram I realize that my carb does not have a drive spring ( i must have lost it )on the diaphragm stem. Now of course I know I need this spring as it is part of the carb but also other than the now and then flooding issue it runs fine..
My question is would missing that spring cause the occasional flooding issue and the percolation issue that I did not have before the rebuild. Also the kit came with a thin base gasket and think one as well.. I used the thin one because thats what was on there to begin with but somewhere someone said use the think one but i'm not sure the studs are long enough to use the thick one.
Thank you in advance
