Accel. pump linkage?

[Elimax]

Hi folks:

I've seen the term "accel. pump linkage" cited on the forum but don't know what it is or where it is on the Max.

Anyone know?

Thanks.

I have a feeling it may be related to carb chains.. :biglaugh:

Yeah the accel pump is hooked to the carb chains which are run off a hydralic system fed off the turn signal fluid.

They're a son of a bitch to get at but usually work great.

other carbs have accel pumps for sudden throttle openings. dont' think the vmax carbs have anything like that?

 

[maleko89]

Nope, just flat slide carbs.

I'm disappointed here guys, these responses took about an hour, I expected the "carb chain" link (get it....link???...chain...LINK??:rofl_200 to show up within minutes!!! unk:

 

[Elimax]

Anything in the service manual about this linkage?

 

[4gasem]

There is no accel pump on a stock Vmax.

 

[gamorg02]

are you takling about a choke linkage?

 

[Elimax]

Nope, not choke linkage. I had found a post where "accel. linkage" was mentioned.

Thanks.

can u post the post?

 

[tugla]

sounds like your chasing a ghost link maybe its needs to be chained down :rofl_200:

 

[naughtyG]

OK it could be the accelerator cables linkage? That lil' junction box under the left scoop..

Nothing to pump here but then again you never know, if the carb chains were a little worn?

 

[dannymax]

There is throttle linkage....throttle=accelerator, yeah..they're close enough, but the only pump in the system is the fuel pump.

Maybe the guy had a 4 barrell or something like that...? :confused2:

 

[naughtyG]

I guess you could argue that the pistons are pumping in the jugs, and are linkaged to the crankshaft..

lol

Well Buster does have the tshirt website up which allow for some customization. We could all add something like "home of the carb chains" or "carb chains guru"(Only for maleko?lol), "carb chain technician" or the like.

 

[naughtyG]

Anyone up for the design?
