What is your idea of "old days".........I am not sure when the accelerator pump showed up - but I can show you a lot of brass era cars that don't have any accelerator pump.
I know cars in the 50's had accelerator pumps - I don't know how much earlier.
well I'm old and I'm a 1966 model lol
You said old, you didn't mention a specific year
the Model T was actually the first car a driver of today would have the slightest notion of how to drive
A lot of carts back then had hand throttles like a boat, and the other controls were often more bizarre, for what I've seen
now I wanna google it and see when the accelerator pump was added to automotive carbs
oddly, the Rebel still has one
edit, tried googling, no answer, google sucks
