Default Super B w/ Accelerator Pump

I recently bought my bike and it came with a Super B on it. The bike had not been taken care of properly and the carb, like a lot of other things, needs some TLC. After reading about these carbs I found they don't come with an accelerator pump, but they could be adapted to the Super B.

Well mine already has an accelerator pump adapted to it. I haven't seen any pics of one that's been modified like this, so I thought I'd post up some pics of mine for anyone interested. raven28690 wants some pics from this thread.

I thought I'd make a new thread so it's easy to find for future searchers.

Here's a shot from the bottom of the carb. It shows the feed line from the bowl to the pump.


Here's one from the side. You can see the hose leaving the pump and going to the nozzle in the venturi.


Here's another from the top. You can see how the cable works and you can see the location of the nozzle from the outside.


Here's one showing the location of the nozzle from the front.


Here is the nozzle removed from the carb. It looks similiar to what guys use in water injection set-ups. I think you can get them in a bunch of different sizes from Mcmasteror something.That'll be how you tune the shot I guess.


And the carb showing the hole for the nozzle.


Here's the pump removed from the carb. You can see the brackets that attach it to two of the bowl's screws. You can also see the bracket for the cable.


Here is the pump disassembled. Not many parts. Just a spring and a diaphram.



Does anyone know what kind of accelerator pump that is?I'd like to replace the diaphram in it, but I don't know what it's off of.

If anyone wants any other pics of it let me know. [sm=smokin.gif]

I believe the diaphram that they used is from a early holley carb and ford autolite 2 bbl carbs used the same

Thanks for the info. I dug through some of my old manuals and the Autolite ones do look the same. I'll have to see if I can buy the diaphramwithout getting a whole kit. I've got a Holley rebuild kit around somewhere that I'll try to find too.

If I have any luck I'll post up exactly what works.
