<VV> carb issue

[Frank DuVal]

Valves?

Over the years I have had many a gas soaked palm when doing this. Never 
gave it a thought. After all, the engine vacuum is sucking the gas 
through the fuel inlet valve.

Or is the problem the dry palm? Since if the valves were misadjusted 
engine vacuum could be low and therefore not sucking gas through the 
fuel inlet as it should.
