Paul,
You have been under the TR too long, get some sleep.
You pose an interesting question/therom but at the end of the day will it
really affect the enjoyment of blasting down the road in that LBC or hearing
the wonderful burbble of the exhaust as you downshift, only to 2nd gear of
course.

Subject: [TR] carb fuel 'mist' confusion
list,
It seems odd to me that the 'forceful mist' created by the engine sucking
about 14 parts air to 1 part gasoline needs to be highly organized as it
does.
Let me runover the process and please feel free to add something if you
think it would clarify things.
Again, this forceful mist of air/gas is sucked up out of the jet,
travels thru the venturi/carburetor/intake manifold and into the cylinder's
combustion chamber 5-6" away from where the fuel first hits the needle. The
difficult part to understand is it simply the dispursement of the gas
molecules in the incoming stream that determines how smooth an engine runs?
Seemingly, if the carb's needle is not centered then, at the jet, it still
has the same surface area of gasoline exposed to the suction, right? Or is
this hocus pocus?
Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
