Have you tried bumping up the discharge nozzle size yet?

Money! Thank you.

Still not ideally crisp but in the range now. The pump arm was at about .002 freeplay, I'll experiment lengthening/shortening the link +/- one flat of the nut and see if that helps.

No, but were getting there! 31's in it now, 33's and 35's are probably worth testing.

It felt pretty strong with smooth primary to secondary transition in 3rd & 4th gear hard roll on's this afternoon.

Sieg, here's great spec chart for Holley accelerator pump cams. The amounts are per 10 strokes of the pump arm and it is based on a 50cc pump, but is a good visual to see the differences when adjusting the cam position.

After reading this.... I was thinking maybe you should try advancing the cam a few degrees and see if the response off the bottom gets better. Maybe it's just a matter of changing the valve timing events slightly.

Just throwing out another thing to try.... not sure if you considered this or not.

Thanks Scott, I haven't seen the volumes charted before, nor the WOT pump arm dimension measured.

Dale - The orange pump cam removed the off idle flat spot. What threw me was I thought I had eliminated the flat spot and bumped the initial timing which resulted in a big flat spot no matter what the initial timing was set at. I still don't understand what factors caused that to happen. Without an AFR monitor I'll assume it was lean to real lean in the transition and the motor could have loaded up a bit and when the timing was set it cleaned up at emphasized the lean condition.....

Based on the morning test drive it appears I'm finally heading in the right direction now.
