<VV> The new gas and accelerator pumps

[Paul Fox]

At one time I thought I heard someone say there were Viton cups sold.But I can't remember where I heard it.They should work fine.
When I run the E-85 I haven't had any trouble with my pumps. Just hard starting when It's cold out. I think the trick is keeping the pump cups from drying out while sitting longer than a few days. Even then, if you fill the bowls and soak them for a while they will get soft again and start to work. It sometimes takes almost a day to soften them.

No, the question is, "Where can we buy some ethanol resistant accelerator 
cups?"
