What Is a Carburetor Accelerator Pump and How Does It Prevent Hesitation?
The carburetor accelerator pump is a critical component designed to deliver an extra squirt of fuel during sudden throttle openings. This quick burst of fuel prevents engine hesitation or stalling, ensuring smooth acceleration and reliable performance. Available in various styles, such as diaphragm or Viton cup types, accelerator pumps are tailored to suit different carburetor designs and engine needs.
A worn or malfunctioning accelerator pump can cause poor throttle response, hesitation, or even stalling during acceleration.
