Well with the winter here I decided to put my 78k to bed and do a few things over the winter...project number one is another thorough cleaning of the carbs as I had some idling issues (had to run choke on so I assumed a clogged idle jet). After tearing into them I realized I was right and I had a couple partially clogged jets...cleaned em and went to put it all back together and I realized that the accelerator pump has a little rubber thing that goes around the shaft as it passes through the number 2 carb. Well this little rubber piece is virtually disintegrated.
I had a look through my manuals and it does not give me a name or part number for it. I assume it's just a dust boot or something similar to prevent it from getting bunged up with dirt but can anyone confirm this? Also a real name for it or ideally a part number would also be helpful so that I can track down a replacement...interesting to note that when I bought a new accelerator pump kit it did not come with this little rubber part as part of the kit...
Thanks,
Dennis
