<VV> Turbo carb Questions

[Bob Gilbert]

The carb is a 65-66 and I just took the top cover off to replace the
accelerator pump. In doing so I noticed that there was no pump discharge
needle. The carb stayed in the car so it couldn't have fallen out.

 

I have a replacement and I was wondering

 

1)What would have been the impact of it not being there?

 

2)Just it just sit in the hole?

 

3)What exactly does it do?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bob
