Need an opinion here. I took apart my Edelbrock 1904 Q-jet carb to do another primary jet/metering rod change for tuning purposes. The accelerator pump was still compressed into the well it sit's in as I removed the upper gasket. Then popped out after a minute. It feels like it's binding a little as you move it up and down. But it seemed fine after reassembly. The car was a real b!tch to get started, and didn't want to start readily after it stalled a few times. Pumping the heck out of the gas was the only it would re-fire. The throttle responce was bad when cold, but got better once the car was hot. Thanks in advance!
