1952 Dodge truck carburetor issue

Maybe post a picture of the carb it’s self. A single shot accelerator pump is typical and what you’re describing is not. But I no very little about that particular carb.
In most carb kits there is either a new shaft with the pump or just the seal and you work it around the shaft to get it into place.
More pictures and info is needed.

Here are a couple pics of the carb and, I believe the carb #.
