I have about 20 flatheads out in the garage and the aluminum fuel pump risers on almost all of them have warped bases, a lot of warpage. That has to eliminate some of the fuel pump rods travel. I buy ones at swap meets that are still nice and straight, most are warped bad. Something you can check for.
