control plunger resistance

[juliemac57@hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

There is a small spring with in the chamber that forces the piston down and 
shutting off the fuel.
If you feel the end of a click emerge pen the resistance should be about 
that light.
Gum and tar will cause the piston to drag and stick. I had a car stop and 
refuse to start over 100 miles from home because of this. A trip to the auto 
parts store and a common screw driver fixed it!
Well, I found it after 2-3 hours in the rain trying every thing else I could 
think of   :)
