    What Is Wrong With This Accelerator Pump?

    I received the following from Tom Taylor ~ scumdog from "The Land Of The Long White Cloud". (New Zealand ~ Goggle that statement and look at the Cloud images...

    "Hi Ray, Hopefully you’re still well and the days are getting warmer? Found these old photos of mine and thought it would be good for a laugh on Anything Goes!

    I thought if you posted the pic with the comment “who can see what is wrong with this accelerator pump” and see who is first to comment, (it’s the bottom pic on my screen.) It’s on the carb on the 390 in my ‘66 Thunderbird, I had it apart to correct an issue and reassembled it incorrectly. Hopefully this makes sense, stay safe and regards from New Zealand, Tom."

    Here are the two pix he sent. I did not receive them top and bottom, but left and right...

    The picture on the right is what happens when you install the cover upside down. The round bump is what pushes the accelerator pump in and needs to be on the inside.

      Well done John, nothing gets past YOU!
      I never noticed the pump cover was upside down and wondered why the car would run but ‘bogged’ when I opened the throttle suddenly, it took a minute or two before ‘the penny dropped’ and I realized what the problem was!
