Re: [FWDLK] Carb Question

Ron,

Is the linkage to the Accelerator Pump attached? Did it give you this
trouble right from the moment it was rebuilt?
Instead of being too weak, I'd thing the spring would be to tough. If it
played a role in this anyway.
Don't know much about Stromberg though....

Regards, Jim.

Hi Gang -

I hope I haven't asked this already, but I'm having problems restarting my
58 Plymouth after it warms up. I get the car running, warm it up, shut the
engine off, then when I try to restart, say 20 seconds later, it just
cranks.

Here's what I noticed in doing my own testing: When I crank the throttle and
look down the throat of the carb, I see no gas squirting out. Also if I move
the throttle, the accelerator pump just stays there--it doesn't come down
with the lever. When I press down on the accelerator pump rod to make it go
down the chamber, it squirts gas into the carb. Then I can turn the key and
start the car.

Carb is a Stromberg 2bbl. Just rebuilt, although I was having this problem
before the rebuild. The accelerator pump is brand new. Could the accelerator
pump spring be weak ? That was not replaced since it wasn't included in the
Bernbaum rebuild kit.

Thanks,

Ron
