Depending on your carb, sometimes you can fix the "initial dribble" problem by adjusting the pump rod so the pump starts off further down in the bore. It may even be out of spec with respect to that adjustment, or your float level may be too low. But it should be easy enough to measure where your pump is sitting at right now (in case you need to change it back) and bend the rod so it sits another few millimeters further down at rest.



yeah, there were two slots the rod could have gone in. it HAD been in the inner slot(closest to carb) but since I changed it to the outer slot, I havent noticed any change. I could try to bend the rod to make it shorter. The float was set to whatever the instructions said to set it to. IIRC, level with the bowl, or am I thinking the ford carb again All I remember is setting it to what the piece of paper in the kit said
