'Respond', yes, but perhaps not in a desirable manner. The Weber allong
with most (all?) fixed-jet carbs has an accellerator pump that chucks a
bucketful (OK, a small bucket) of neat fuel down the intake each time you
operate the pedal. A linkage can usully be altered to vary the amount. Too
much pumping and you may flood the engine so as it won't start. In a car
with a twin-choke (both barrels operated in unison) I could stall the car
(an automatic) by tramping hard on the pedal then lifting off immediately -
the twin chokes chucked more fuel at the engine that it could handle at
idle.
