Hope everyone is having a good weekend with all this great weather!!

I rebuilt the 4777-2 650 double pumper yesterday and put it on the motor today. After fixing a few leaks that kept popping up, it fired right up. We adjusted the air/fuel mixture screws (VERY RESPONSIVE!! ) and the idle speed. I sprayed some starter fluid around the spacer and baseplate and no surges. I further checked for vacuum leaks by covering the choke horn with my hand and the motor died within 2-3 seconds. Gave the throttle a few pumps and noticed a big time hesitation. Anyway, I took it for a spin around the block and the hesitation actually stalled the motor. I'm not sure what it is.

What is the proper method of setting the accelerator pumps? Gap? Preload? Since rebuild, I did not re-adjust it. I assume this is the cause of the hesitation. What do you guys think? I also used the stock 6.5 power valve.

When I actually got the car to surpass the hesitation, it is a BIG HUGE difference!! More responsive and felt more torque going up the rpm band. Just felt all around better. Don't get me wrong the 1850-2 600cfm vac sec. ran fine. But this 650dp is a LOT different.

Oh, one more thing, I re-used the nylon washers on the screws that hold the fuel bowls to the main body and 2 of the bolts get a little moist, no drips, but moist. Should I pull them and use the black gaskets in the rebuild kit?

Thanks in advance.

Ron, I removed the all the choke stuff from the carb (choke plate, rod, linkage, electric choke, etc.)

I'll switch to the black gaskets tomorrow.

Anyone else?

Nope, I don't think it's the choke Scoop.

And the carb is a mechanical secondary. So it stays closed until it's halfway floored. No more vacuum secondary. It's OK, I was only getting 6-7mpg with the 600cfm anyway.

I have never worked with a DP or a mechanical secondary carb.But it seems like there should be a way to adjust the linkage to make the secondarys open sooner or more late?

I'm just trying to help Buddy,not trying to drive you crazy.

As I read it, Mike_R, you are correct. See:

Me neither Scoop. A lot of my projects are 1st timer projects.

But as you also mentioned that is merely a point to start from - some custom tuning to his setup may prove to be better for Erik.

Thanks Mike & Ryan. I'll have to adjust this carb tonight and fix the minor leak coming from the cheap Mr. Gasket dual inlet fittings.

It needs more accelerator pumped fuel. If the adjustments don't cure it bigger squirters will.
