Leather accelerator pumps
With the poor quality accelerator pumps currently found in carb kits, will a leather pump hold up with racing gas…renegade 112? 4gc on a super stocker. Thanks.

I have run leather for years with no problems.

The trick used to be to soak your leather pump cups in brake fluid to keep them soft, or to soften them up. I use viton pump cups NAPA number 2-4112 in all my carbs .Cost about $7.50 each.

I’m thinking the alcohol eats the leather up along with fuel pumps and carbs but with race gas no

Does the 4 GC use the same size pump as the Rochester 2 Barrel or is it the Dia. of the Q-Jet pump? Its been years since I've been inside one of those carbs. Have a Good Day. Respectfully, Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA |
Re: Leather accelerator pumps
All racing fuels contain Triethylamine.
They will kill the leather and even the Viton cups that usually come in the carb kits sold at auto parts stores. I recommend the use of cups sold by companies such as Quadarjet Power, Quadrajet Parts, and others. They sell cups that are resistant to the new generation of fuels and are made from either Butyl, EPDM, Neoprene, or Hypalon rubber. |
