I like your "assumed" answer much better vs the float sticking/ carb flooding one.

Most idle feed restrictions are in the .035" range and we know that you can move a bunch of idle fuel through that orifice size which is only .007" bigger vs the .027" air orifice you are describing. You could get a lot more air (vapor) thru those holes than most people think. A flooded carb with fuel pouring out of the booster though is a bit of a stretch as far as fuel passage.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
