Accelerator pump spring

Post by sjmtlewy »

Does anyone know where to get a new spring for a 2E3 accelerator pump? Mine seems to have gone walkies.

Cheers,
Tim

I'd phone, if you were busy would you put priority on a sales enquiry worth a pound or two

Had a chat with G&L, they aren't able to supply the springs. They're not a part that's ever been available separately, apparently it was once possible to get a pump refurb kit with one, but not any more. He was very helpful though and happy to give advice.

Luckily, Gasure Steve has has come up trumps and has kindly offered to fix me up with one from his collection. Cheers!

only used this bloke once and he sent me the wrong part ( despite having a photo of what I wanted) then didn't refund my return postage, I didn't argue but be warned.
maybe worth a go though seemed like he's a hoarder of carb parts rather than a large business.
