Technical Stupid questions and those who ask them (p.s. it's me)

Now you're thinkin'!

 

Thanks Cactus, your right. Being more familiar with Rochesters which have the flies further down the bore.
Beer can, ha ha. Pulled a trip set off before and found the same thing. I have tried with a 4L plastic container before, but they tend to get pulled into the manifold with heat and vac.

 

Ok here's the next thing: why is it when I throttle it manually from under the hood it's very smooth and very responsive, but when I step on the gas pedal inside it just wants to stall and sputter?

Extreme pedal ratio which makes it more of an on/off-switch?

 

Just FYI, carb butterflies have beveled edges that prevent full closure even when they appear to be fully closed---- except for butterflies that are specifically designed to be secondaries. Also, most/many carbs idle screws will not stop air flow completely. Blocking plates are the only reliable solution.
