Hi Guys,

Again needing your help... Was trying to fire up the 1500cc for the GTV and after some troubles (fuel line, gas pump...) >:(, I discovered that my Holley bugspray accelerator pump seems to be stuck... I guess some rust appeared just under the pump line beetwen the nozzles (the card sat for a couple of years without gasoline)... When I operate the throttle linkage, no gas come on the nozzles while the carb tank is full...

Anyone there experienced such trouble. I think I will put some carb cleaner, but what the best chance to get it cleaned... Any suggestion ???

I definitely want that engine to finally fire up and that GTV roll.................... Go go go E BugIn...

hi laurent,

I think, the engine should at least start even without working accelerator pump? Have you checked everything else? Are the idle jets ok? Ignition? Does it start, if you spray some .... into the carb? (I'm missing the english word, in german it's called "Startpilot", a spray to help an engine getting started). Just to make sure, it's really the accelerator pump. Can't help you with the Bugspray, never had one in my hands.

Thanks for your input Andy  :D

Well, I didn't try yet to run the engine with starpilot. I was disapointed yesterday night, that the only thing I wanted was throwing the carb out... Engine should starts if carb works as the sparks light when on the case ground! 

I'm not sure it should start without accelerator pump, as when I operate the throttle linkage, nos gasoline comes out of the 2 nozzles... I will try to have a better look tonight and put some carb cleaner inside, followed by compressed air... Let's see what will happen... I just hope to receive some dirt in my face... Keep you posted!

Keep my finger crossed!

try  to find a rebuilt kit on ebay ;)
