I applaud your experimentation with the acc. pump and have done a considerable amount of tinkering myself with very little success. That light spring scares me, though, as the purpose of the accelerator pump is to give a very quick shot of fuel before the main wells and/or power valves get "in the game". Squirter size is another consideration, but on a q-jet not particularly important.

A more important consideration is the choke pull off rate of release in conjuction with the air valve tension (and angle) and being able to adjust them quickly and easily.

Also, I have fought some q-jets that seem to defy all logic and not work in spite of a lot of effort. Sometimes, you just have to set them aside and get another core. Good luck, Ron.
