Since the exhaust upgrade, I've been messing with my 7042250 Qjet to fix what i think is a lean condition (probably another thread). But forgetting that for the moment, I have always had a leaky accelerator pump. I'm rebuilding the carb, and checked the airhorn to see if it had warped over the years (it's the original carb.) Can you guys take a look at these pics and tell me if I am crazy, or is it possible for the airhorn to warp THAT much!?!

Yes it can warp that much. Amazing these carbs work at all when it gets like this.

I've seen these large plastic fixtures that can be installed on it and bend it back. Its like a custom made clamp thing..that the user tightens around it. Its not exactly a tool that the do it your selfer buys.
