I have a Xingyue xy260t-4 which seems like a VOG 260. It's a 2008. The carburetor has a small plunger thing at the base, pointing up, toward the air intake side that looks like it should have a rubber bellows over the shaft and should press up against a spring metal tab that presses against a part of the throttle mechanism. On mine it doesn't move at all and seems to be retracted all the time, so it does not push against anything.
What is this, what makes it move, and what does it do?
Thanks
Bob

From your description your carb has a accelerator pump. The rod should push down and push a diahprgm to squirt gas into the Venturi. The rod sticks up and when you twist the throttle enough the throttle bracket has a flat plate that pushs the rod down BUT IT SHOULD SPRING back. Alleyoop  |

Thanks for the answer. I'm used to restoring mid-80's Honda Elites, and they don't have an accelerator pump.
Is there supposed to be a spring inside, under the diaphragm? I took it apart and cleaned up the tiny passages, but there's no spring in there and the rod doesn't reach to anywhere near the plate on the throttle mechanism.
Thanks again.

Yea you should be able to push it down with your finger and spring back up.
