<VV> No Corvair, just more info on the plugged carb question

[Duane, Jim]

	Maybe.  I did work on marine engines as a college kid.  Most
carbs I did work on had no need for accel pumps because throttle
movement is gradual (they're levers) and you don't "mess around" with
the throttle(s) once you get to a plane.  (pedals are only for race
boats).

I posted a question this weekend as to why some older carbs I am
restoring might have a mechanically plugged accelerator pump circuit. I
have since determined from the owner that 3 of them were used on a
performance marine engine <<They are for a triple downdraft flathead
Gray marine 244CI 160HP inboard marine engine.  these were the highest
performance, highest hp of the fireball 
series by Gray Marine which was Gray's "racing" series>>   Does anyone
know 
whether this explains eliminating the circuit???
Thanks,
Grant
