Hi guys,
    Today, while rebuilding carbs, noticed that I had only one spare accelerator pump (new) but, several new cups. As I had never installed a new cup, I wandered on asking to VV or putting my few old neurones on duty.
    After some 15 minutes thinking (?) and looking around I found the perfect tool for installing those rubber like cups. Got some discarded ball pens and voila !! One of them had the right shape (conical) and size at the lower end. Unscrewed it, put some oil outside it and in the rubber cup. Put the "tool" against the pump tip (after removing old cup) and slided the new cup real easy to its place. That discarded ball pen is now my new tool.
    I am sure many of you could know this, or a different way, to install these cups but, some others may not know this way.
