rebuilt dualjet, now flat spot

All you have to do is, take the old check ball and a punch that will fit down the hole and lightly tap it. Remember, these carburetors are made of a soft zinc alloy metal. Don't hammer too hard.

I will try this. The kit did come with a new check ball which I installed. When I took the carb apart there was only one spring - under the accelerator pump. I didn't see anything about a second spring in the instructions that came with the kit or in the service manual.

I think I missed that second spring and left it on the old accel pump and threw it out. I looked at a Delco breakdown online and the pump should definitely have 2 springs. shoot!!! I guess I'll be ordering the pump from Cliffs.

Yep, you need that spring off the old pump, but Cliff provides that when you order his pump. Plus, his pump is THE BEST on the market for todays fuel. Not that over-the-counter JUNK. ;)
Cliff Ruggles:
Correct, our accl pumps come with both springs, they are custom wound for improved fuel delivery, and the pump has a lifetime warranty.
Ray took a call yesterday from someone asking if they fit the Dual Jet but no order was placed that I've seen?
If ordering only the pump they are available directly off the website.......Cliff
