What does the accelerator pump on a Holley carburetor do?
The accelerator pump circuit addresses this condition by adding the additional fuel to prevent that momentary lean air-fuel ratio.. Let’s first describe exactly how the accelerator pump circuit works and then we can get into tuning.

How do you change the fuel nozzle on a Holley?

What causes carburetor stumble-Holley Motor Life?
Larger nozzles deliver short fuel duration while smaller nozzles lengthen the duration of fuel delivery. The overall objective is to deliver the right amount of fuel. You don’t want to deliver too much fuel too soon, or to little fuel too late. That’s what causes the bogging and poor throttle response.
Why does my carburetor not get enough fuel?
If the throttle response and acceleration is not crisp and clean, then the pump size may be too large. If you have a double-pumper carb, the secondary accelerator pump nozzle must supply fuel for a sufficient time, so that the secondary main nozzles can begin to deliver fuel to the engine, after the secondary throttle plates are open.

What causes a carburetor to backfire and lean?
Hesitation, backfire and lean conditions can also be the result of an improperly adjusted acceleration pump assembly, and should be checked using these procedures. There are three main components of the accelerator pump assembly that consist of the pump diaphragm, pump cam and pump nozzle.
