Ah, nope, the air pump pushes air into the exhaust port. It does not
afect the combustion chamber.
As for the Weber, I'd check your float level very carefully and then
I would trace the accelerator pump circuit. I would guess the latter
is not working properly. When you twist the throttle plate, you should
be able to see gas squirt into the manifold. And in a hot engine,
a gas fog should be noticeable.
Time to look over the carb schematic!
