Hello David:
Another excellent suggestion. I wish I'd checked that before I installed
the new piece tonight! If it ends up leaking too (it's late so I didn't
want to keep the neighbors up and run the Tiger too long or rev it up
too high to test the pump piece), I'll take it apart again and try that.
I did notice on close inspection that the new two color (green and
black) accelerator pump gasket/bowl that Holley sent me seems to be a
bit thicker (the gasket material) than both the original and the
replacement I've already tried, and the green material is definitely a
bit softer than the black. Maybe the idea is for that softer material to
push into any imperfections in the sealing surfaces and make a seal.
Time will tell, and I'll report back.
Thanks!
Steve Sage
