is it just me...

Or does the Acc. pump circuit on the carter YF suck?

I can't really get mine to squirt for crap, and it never squirts the second time unless I wait a few seconds for the plunger to return.

This causes me some tip-in bog as well as being a HUGE pita when trying to start for the first time in a while... I have to use starting fluid because pump the gas as I may, it doesn't squirt crap for gas in there.

I am sure I must be doing something wrong... does anyone have any tips?

Is the fill hole pluged? maybe get a stronger spring on the return for the plunger..

If it sucks, then it's not pumping!

You've got something wrong internally.
How long has it been like this? Is it new or rebuilt? Who rebuilt it? Time to disassemble and inspect.

 

[Bort62]

I rebuilt it. It works great otherwise. A stronger spring for the plunger return was the route I was thinking, as well...

Fill hole, along with every other hole on the carb, seems to be perfectly clear.

 

[BIGREDRASA]

So, did you take it apart again after the rebuild?

 

[Bort62]

I've had it apart a few times to screw w/ the jetting... and the acc stuff seems fine. Just doesnt work too well.

IIRC, there's a wire-like link that controls the pum's stroke, and it determines the length of the stroke. Double check the length.

look at the check ball, there should be a weight on it. you might be squirting gas back to the bowl.
if the weight is there and sticking, it could also cause a restriction.

 

[Bort62]

Ball is there, weight is there...

I like the heavier spring idea, I think I am going to go that route. What's the worst that could happen... right?

 

[grocery getter]

the spring should do it. if not, go with a lighter weight fuel
