Stock Fuel Pump

Yep the same DickJ that has been having problems getting the motor to come off idle without stalling. No spurts from the accelorator pump. With a little help from a can of starting fluid, I can get it to take throttle, but it gets real flat the higher the RPM go.

The accelerator pumps on those carters are leather and they ride on cast iron and wear quickly... A weak point in that carb is the accelerator pump... Replace with an accelerator pump from a rebuild kit...
