Carb problem
Hi guys, I've recently gotten my 92 heritage softail bacl on the road after a few years in the shed. I had to strip and clean the carb as it hadn't been drained and was completely gummed up.
The stuff in the jets was like tar but I was able to clear them out.
The problem is that I wasnt able to get the accelerator pump working because I cant see how to remove the pump nozzle to clean it.
The bike won't run properly now until it has completely warmed up, I think it is the accelerator pump nozzle that is the problem as the book says that the accelerator pump assists smooth operation during warm up.
Does anyone know it it's possible top remove the pump nozzle from the float bowl. It seems to be pressed in, not sure.
Any other tips would be great. The bike splutters and stalls until it is warmed up. then it seems to run right. It didn't used to do this during warm up.

Thanks Jimsflh, But I've already tried that. The nozzle seems to be blocked with some very stubern stuff and according to the book there is a check valve in it which I would imagine doesn't help me clear it out. Did you ever try removing the pump stray nozzle from a CV float bowl, or is it even possible?
