hello there! When I rebuilt my carb couldn’t get the accelerator pump out..I expected it to drop out. Anyway, I put it all back together but I have noticed a load of dead play. Should the spring/piston always be in contact with the leaver? It is only acting on it for the last 1/4 of the levers opperation. Having problems with misfire/rich running. Wondered if this could be part of the issue? I have lapped the carb so the 2 body parts meet well now. Thanks, Joe

I think your piston is sticking or spring is week.

Hi Joe_M
Did you ever get this resolved? I took my carb to pieces last night and where the manual said "be careful that the accelerator pump does not drop out" I found that I could not remove the pump at all. It was nice and springy, but was NOT coming out.
I wondered if you ever sorted yours?
Thanks
Andrew

Good morning Andrew. I did, I removed it with some force! The spring had “gone under” itself. So in this case that’s all it needed. I got a replacement, and it fitted with ease (quite loosely).

I remember some one sent me that whilst I was on with mine. May be handy

Hi Joe
Yes - Well, armed with this new knowledge I gave mine a good pull this evening and out it popped. No chance whatsoever of it falling out by accident! It was a little corroded but cleaned up a treat.
That link is excellent, thanks for posting.
Cheers
