When you accelerate you increase RPM on the pump it could be weak at low RPM. Just a thought.

Re: heard this one yet????

question....

the "C" shaped linkage at the bottom of the carburetor, connecting the accelerator pump to the throttle body, can that be adjusted/tweaked/bent slightly to help with anything I've got going?

Re: heard this one yet????

It sounds like you have a stumble when you opened the throttle. I'd take a look at the pump squirt (truck not running) when partially opening the throttle. That is either a low float level (which you checked as good) or the linkage needs adjusting to get the slack out. The pump should move and squirt right when you open the throttle.

ok...i'll look now. "squirt", like a water pistol?
