Why do you need to run the vent all the way to in front of the choke? My air balanced Zenith is vented to the carb throat just before the venturi. See photo in post #98.

So long as the vent is between the air filter and the venturi, it doesn't matter. The pressure will be the same anywhere in that piece of the intake.

Yes, you and I know that. I was asking Werner.

Please tell me why my air cleaner gets dirty. And I run engine pans.
