Default Holley acc pump problem.

Just did a quick gasket change on my 750 dp and when you give it some throttle the acc pump squirts then it seems to dribble and gas seems to be coming out the air bleeds and then when you hit the throttle after the gas stops there seems to be no gas in the acc pump reserve? :confused: Give it a few more throttle blips and some comes out but the process starts over again. I varified the float level so I know there is plenty of fuel in the bowl but cannot figure what is causing this.

Any ideas before I yank it back off?

Also I have the spring/bolt adj so it is barely in contact with the acc lever so it squirts as soon as the throttle moves. I have had this carb apart a few times but never have experienced anything like this, almsot like there is some type of vacuum sucking the acc reserve dry or some type of pressure purging it.

Right offhand it sounds as it you might have got a gasket on wrong.
