Thank you. I appreciate the voice of reason!

I obviously like learning how this stuff works... probably more than the stuff.

I don't know about the Edelbrock pump but the Facet pumps as shared by Kenth allow flow-through when they are off. Edelbrock is probably the same.

A good excuse to use the smoker and "patio-gate". We have a nice sunny day so that's good!

If you are making a decision for an employer, this is good advice.

With zero experience straightening forks, I'll jump in anyway.

I suggest you NOT heat it, as it is probably made of a heat-treated, tough alloy like 4140.

If you think of the carb as a jar with a hole in the lid, then yes, all other things being equal, the bigger hole will allow a higher rate of vapor loss.
