: ...I suggest you recheck your choke: both pull-down and initial setting. If it is open too much your engine will run too lean and not want to start when cold. Also make sure your float level is correct. A small error can really hurt performance. Make sure you have a good seal at the carb base. This could cause the bogging problem when you hit the gas. I doubt the accelerator pump is to blame - opening the throttle suddenly would result in a "lazy" response but not a total bog to point of stalling.
: : I gotta '73 mav with a 250 and a Carter RBS one barrel carb. I Rebuilt the carb and adjusted it like I should but the car is extremely hard to sart cold and has a serous bog when warmed up. If I quickly stab the gas the car just about stalls. I think I need to check my fuel pump but has anybody else seem this problem?
