Hmmm....that is interesting....something I never tried even just for kicks!
The engine vacuum must have been strong enough (despite a big gaping hole in
the air chambers where the air valves should be) to pull enough fuel past the
"needleless" jets to keep the engine running. Ha, ha, ha....I always thought
that these carbs were simple devices but you've really proved the point!
