secondaries arent getting any fuel.? My friend has a 1984 Honda Accord LX that he recently purchased that had overheated and had a blown head gasket. He fixed the head and started the car. It's acting like it has a huge vacuum leak as it will start no problem but you have to keep your foot into it or else it will die. If the idle drops below 1500 rpm the vehicle will die. We looked in the carbuerator and hit the throttle and only the primaries are getting fuel. the secondaries have no fuel when the throttle is opened. I think it might be an accelerator pump but I'm not sure. It is a 2 barrel carb. Could this be the cause of the idling problem or is this normal for a honda carbuerator to not squirt fuel into the secondaries?? I'm used to working on musclecars with holley doublepumpers so this is kinda (pun intended) foreign to me. I couldnt find any vacuum leaks.















Please help. Thanks!!!
