<VV> Carburetor idle vent functionality/vent seal

Bob, that's how I found out you can run without the rubber seal after a
carb rebuild!

They do swell at least twice their size. ggg

Ray,

Just remember to remove the metal strip with its rubber seal before you put
the carb in carb cleaner or the rubber will swell to twice its size and
sometimes not seal well when reassembled.  I learned the hard way the first
time I rebuilt some '68 carbs.

I can attest that leaving the rubber valve off when rebuilding a carb
results
in a carb that runs fine. The rubber does not affect carb performance. So
it should never be "more trouble than they are worth".
