Hey everyone,

I just bought a Predator carb off ebay a few weeks ago. After getting it I disassembled it partially to get an idea of how it worked and to clean and lube it. When I took the accelerator pump off the spring and ball bearing came out. I did'nt see where they came from so guessed when I put it back together.

I installed the carb and it has a bog just off idle. I'm guessing I re installed the ball and spring wrong. Anyone have a diagram, picture or even a hand drawing they could send me as to how they go back together?

I tried emailing Predator but it looks like they are out of business? I got an auto reply saying they would be gone for the next 2 weeks. And I can't access the message board (if its still working)

Thanks
Jordon

I searched the net a lil bit and came across This Link Click Me and on page 15 step 14 it gives some info about accelerator pump installation...Not sure if its same model you have but worth looking at

Thanks for the link, it looks like it is the same carb but I can't find a model number on it anywhere lol.

I just cant seem to find any pics or diagrams for this thing. My understanding is they came with manuals with pics, hopefully someone still has one.

It tells you in detail in that manual how the accelerator pump, spring and check ball are installed....

Shane -- I have a close friend, a long-time home builder here in the SF bay area, who ran one. He did NOT run it for long, as it was a "trial". But he tried both a carb with and a carb without the idle circuit (the one with I think was referred to as a street model). He loved them both. He claimed the performance was noticably better. But without the idle circuit the one was not too user-friendly. And the one with the idle circuit cost enough that he backed away from buying.
