Mopar runs thru my veins!
I know it's not a Mopar but I have a problem with a customers 53 Buick that I just can't solve and I know there's got to be someone on here that can help me out.
It's a 53 Buick Special, Straight 8 engine, Carter WCD 882-sa 2 barrel. The car sat for 2 years then the owner wanted to put it back on the road. The carb was full of crap and would barely run at all. I took the carb apart and put a new kit into it. The car idles the balls now. The problem i'm having is the accelerator pump won't pump. I have gone through this carb 6 times now. all passage ways are clean. all check balls are installed and free floating. I even changed the accelerator pump plunger again thinking the leather cup was defective. It hasn't gotten any better. Has anyone that has worked on one of these carbs have this same problem or does anyone have an idea of the problem?
