Accelerator pump 1979 CB650
« on: October 08, 2021, 10:44:18 AM »
Hi guys. Scott here. I'm going to reassemble my carbs this weekend & I have a question. The carbs were apart when I got the bike. I'm not sure how the accelerator pump goes back together. I have a small o-ring & a little boot that came with my new pump kit. Where & how do they fit in the carb? The illistrations I have found are not clear. Thanks.

These are illustrations of 1980-82 carbs, but essentially the same.  Boot goes on plunger shaft to prevent dirt entering as it moves up/down.  O-ring goes between carb bowl and body to seal fuel.
