[QUOTE the accelerator pump does in fact squirt a bit of fuel into the carb chamber. It is not quite a jet stream like shown in the video, more like a dribble. Not sure if that matters.[/QUOTE]

I would think that if its NOT a good stream then you are not getting the fuel you need upon acceleration
