Leather accelerator pumps

The trick used to be to soak your leather pump cups in brake fluid to keep them soft, or to soften them up. I use viton pump cups NAPA number 2-4112 in all my carbs .Cost about $7.50 each.

Thanks Lyn for the Napa part number and leather soap tip.

I’m thinking the alcohol eats the leather up along with fuel pumps and carbs but with race gas no
