Ideas for a diy replacement for the square check ball blockers in accel pumps?
« on: March 12, 2019, 11:57:01 PM »
You know the square phenolic or brass plugs in the 77/78 Cb750f accelerator pumps? I lost one.  I have the steel bb... just need to find or fashion something square and impervious to gasoline to hold the check ball in place.   Ideas?

Well THAT was fun.  Downside? Several hours crawling around and sweeping and picking through dust and spider poop like a CSI technician. Upside? I found it... but as of yet no spring.

Try magnet fishing for the spring. Maybe one of those that looks like a golf club.
