Engine lags and stalls when initially pressing gas-Solution Found?!

Check to make sure the accelerator pump is squirting... Pull up on the pump shaft and let it go and it should squirt gas...

If you are getting squirt from the accelerator pump and it's stumbling, move the linkage for the accelerator pump to another hole on the arm for more or less squirt to see if that helps or not...


If no squirt, the accelerator pump is worn... They wear out easily on the bbd with the leather of the accelerator pump riding on the metal casting... Get a rebuild kit and go through the carb while replacing the accelerator pump... When installing the new accelerator pump, lube the leather first before installing it to help it "wear in" and not tear when installing it...
