It's been awhile since I last posted on this site but I must say it's the best out there.
I just got into fixing a used motor I picked up for my daughter and it's got an issue iding slow. I cleaned the carb and yes the fuel pump and it still is doing the same thing as before. The bulb stays firm when it's running and makes no differance to the performance of the motor so I can rule that out too.
This narrows it down to either points or the plugs. I am about to purchase new plugs because I'v read the B8e's are the wrong ones. I'll get some champian J4c's and see how that goes. B.T.W. the plugs were really wet and black as if it's running really rich. I've set the low idle back to 3/4 and it seems to have no effect.
I'll post back on the plug replacements to let you know how that went.

PS: for all you folks that played with the fuel pump. words of warning.
only unscrew the two long screws which hold the pump to the motor. The other two will keep it together until you get to the work bench. When you remove the other two screws hold it together firmly or it will spring apart on your. Note all the orientation of the parts as you take each layer apart.
There are two prints (one large one and a smaller one) Each spring have a plast cap which should fit against the rubber membrane as you put the together.
