stromberg 97 accelerator pump

[bgalla]

One of the accelerator pump jets gives out a good stream the other nothing. It must be blocked. What is the best way to unplug it? Thanks Bruce

Send it to Max...or at least ask him.

Max sells a tool for blowing out the passage. You remove the pump and power valve install the tool and fill with alcohol and using compressed air blow the alcohol through the passage.

I ended up doing this. The accelerator pump discharge jets were clogged, not squirting at all. I soaked the body in alcohol and threaded this copper tube into the power valve threads. The end of the tube is flared to press a rubber compressed air nozzle up to it. The tube is 5/16 OD. It worked, don’t need to replace the jets now.
