Re: Accelerator pump repair

Everything is back in and working better than ever. Idle is smoother, more power on hills, accelerator pump is spraying again, even spun the tires a bit. Not sure how much of that is new parts and how much is just having everything cleaned out.

Looks like somebody rebuilt this in the past and put a spring on the wrong side of a retainer clip on the rod for the accelerator pump. It was just between the clip and end of the rod, not putting any pressure on anything. Moved it to the other side of the clip so now the rod springs back when it is released.

The Holley kit came with a cardboard tray that worked to hold all the little bits. Ended up using part of the box to poke screws through and write the matching part number from the diagram that came with the kit. Overall it was mostly painless (other than the hour+ it took me to get the pump rod grommet into place), just took some time.


Was checking out all the attached hoses and discovered a broken hose leading directly to the EGR amplifier. Taped it back together until I can get a replacement hose. Found a lot of cracks/breaks in hoses where they connect to the vapor canister. Looks like I found my next project.
