Hi

I have a suspicion that the accelerator pump on my carb is fubar.

Does anybody know if the bike will run on a carb of the same spec but without an accelerator pump? (it seems the earlier models had no pump)

I bought one of these... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Honda-CG125-Carburettor-Carb-Carburetor-NEW-/261420762074?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item3cdde443da
but it turns out my CG has a pump!

It either squirts petrol at wide open throttle or it doesn't, if you haven't got a pump fitted it might just bog down for a couple of seconds if you wang the throttle open.


I appreciate the advice, it used to just bog down, now it bogs down, or stalls entirely when whacking on the throttle from idle. Sad

I know without the pump performance would suffer, but would leaving the pump cable disconnected and connecting the new carb prevent it from running at all?

I have a day off in a few days so I will be cleaning it then, I've took the new one apart, and doesn't seem too complex.

cheers

check your air filter is clean and the jets in the carb are clear, pump really shouldn't make much difference.


Cool, I hope it is just that and not something more complex, as I'm Wrenchtarded.

Much Appreciated

Check that the spring that holds the diaphragm in place is correctly placed.

When I bought my CG I had all sorts of carb problems, to find that the spring had been put behind the diaphragm which kept it permanently shut.
