I run rochester 1gc, 2gc, and 4 gc carbs. The newer neoprene? accelerator pumps seem to wear out or dry up pretty quick
I noticed that the original ones are a purple leather style
there is a guy on ebay that sells the original NOS leather ones by bulk
any thoughts on if these would be better? Has anyone bought any of these on ebay? comments?
also, it seems all i ever have to replace is an accelerator pump, yet i have to buy the whole rebuild kit for 20 bucks every time. So it would be nice to just buy the pump for a couple bucks instead.

Dave, do you have part numbers? If not, give me applications and I can look them up. We have a few oldies at work but not a lot. I will sure check for you.

Ever heard of the Synthetic cups ? Just looking at the Vintage speed site , they stock two kinds for the small base carb. Say more resistant to todays fuels.
Sorry Dave, I was awful busy at work on Friday and never had a chance to look. I still have a note at my computer there with some numbers to check for.
