Read in another thread the pump should be spraying a mist out of the nozzle. I get a stream out of mine. I cleaned it and double checked its spotless no debris or gum .

Anyone got a clean carb or bowl they could take a quick YouTube of to show what the spray pattern should be? I guess you could do one on the bike too.

Googled it and watched a few videos didn't find anything except someone saying to run the edge of a file over the spray hole. I could just buy a new nozzle from cv performance but not sure it's really suppose to me anything but a stream Thanks

Had occasion to ck mine awhile back. Mine squirts a stream not a misty spray.

Maybe that's why I get around 35 mpg at best

I've never seen a mist...always a spray. I don't think you have a problem.

They make medication for a more powerful stream...but it sounds like yours is normal. YD
