got a super e and i cant get the pump to squirt fuel no matter where i set the screw but when i pull the bowl and actuate the pump by pushing on the rod it will squirt. so what am i missing here

Spring under the diaphram might be missing or rotted. The fuel is holding it up enough to manually squirt but diaphram by itself cant push the rod up enough to be operated by the linkage.

I have one now suffering from the same. The linkage moves, but the rod is already pushed down. If I lift up the linkage with a small screwdriver. I can push the rod down and it squirts a little.

I dont know if Im making sense.

that could be a possibility carb is not very old and not alot of miles on it cant see worn parts being the issue don't think the pump worked from day one will pull it apart and check your suggestion but leaning towards a weak spring a this point
