Hi! Ron.
No,Sir you mis-understood my sarcasm ! The point being is that if there is
sufficient crap in your system after having passed the filters to block the
restrictor the carb will be by now full of it and you will be on your way
DOWN, if you get my meaning?

Do Not Arcive
Hello R.C. Harrison
You are saying a clogged restrictor will make things go quiet.
Is this caused by flooding due to the fuel pump/pumps overpowering the
needle
valve, or is it due to vapor lock?
Thx.
