I think i'm just going to tighten the **** out of it. acording to this. off gruntled

-"The measurement of the accelerator pump stroke is critical and difficult. In short, it needs to be the maximum possible to avoid stumble. To obtain maximum stroke, loosen the pump cover slightly, depress the pump arm, and tighten the screws lightly. Now adjust the linkage to obtain maximum travel. The motion of the tip of the arm near the adjustment nut must be 13/32". In some cases, slight bending of the rod may be necessary." (Thanks Jim!)
