OK Boys I got the accelerator pump fixed, All my carb problems are gone !!!!!! it was the pump cover valve (little ball bearings) it was badly corroded & hardly letting any fuel through the valve to the main barrel. I guess when I rebuilt the carb, I installed a pump cover from a different carb. I got my parts jumbled cause I had 3 different carbs torn apart at the same time on my work bench. I dug through my honda carb spare parts box & found the correct cover, cleaned it really good & reinstalled it along with new o-rings & a new diaphragm again. I also readjust the pump lever back to spec & it works perfect now. happy, happy, joy, joy we'll see if she still runs rich or at least to a lesser degree (hopefully wont be so stinky :P) also I don't think I mentioned that my voltage regulator went bad & that's why the choke was only getting half a volt. I replaced it & the choke heater works now. so now its on to the backfiring & I'm pretty sure that's my distributor/ igniter cause my RPM needle goes haywire all the time. I think sometimes it fires early/late & unburnt fuel makes it to the exhaust & backfires. so as soon as I get some extra cash I'll get a new one ordered & see if my needle calms down some (right now its on crack )
