How do you accuratly measure the accelerator pump ?
I tried to use a small cup on the engine side of the carb to catch the petrol while i yanked the cable, but couldn't help to miss a little. The piston was hit by a drop or two, giving a wrong result
Then I took the cable and piston off, and activated the pump with my finger. This time it was easy to catch all the petrol, but I don't know if the amount will be the same as when the pump is activated by the arm.
Any tips ?
Also my carbs are missing the pump diaphragm gasket. The diaphragms look soft and in good shape.
Do I need to fit the gaskets ?

The method described in Classic Bike March 2011 works really well.
You just measure droppage in a fuel line with a ruler rather than try to gather the gas that squirts out! Totally cool.
If you want email me and I'll send you a PDF of the article.
Also I took pictures of doing this on my 900SS a couple months ago.
maybe I'll post them.
