-The earlier pump will allow you to get by the choke and will help you catch the engine if you let the clutch out too fast at a red light. \\ +
-The main difference is the pump housing. The early accel pump passages had both an inlet and an outlet hole for gas routing. \\ +
-The Andrews pump is reportedly the same as Harley part (27364-76for the early 38mm Keihins. \\ +
-Actually, if you can find a 38mm pump and drill the hole in your carb body, you'll have the old style accel pump. \\+
  
-On 1980-1988 Keihin carbs, the stock accelerator pump is restricted by eliminating the check valves in the pump. A high flow accelerator pump puts them back.
