Accel pump issue
Hey guys,
I am about at my wits end I’ve had this carburetor
part about six or seven times I’ve went to three rebuild kits
every time I put it back together the Accel pump gasket falls off and get smashed down under the spring and I have no fuel am I putting it together wrong this is exactly how I’m putting it in the carb.

I would replace the corroded spring and accelerator pump with the newer style which has a garter spring. Whatever caused the corrosion may also damaged your check ball and seat.

I had this happen twice on my Q-Jet, the third and final repair attempt was a new accelerator pump from Cliffs Q-Jets. Cliff told me the issue is the enthonal in today’s fuels. The piston swells enough for the spring to eventually pull apart. The W-Jet on my car was a Edelbrock 850 that I bought new in a sealed box from a swap meet, the 2 pistons I replaced came from parts store rebuilds. The piston from cliff was installed about 5 years ago, that carb is now on my friends 66 Olds and still going strong
