Quote: Chiming in... a stopped up idle bleed will definately make the idle circuit rich. If the bleed is 100% stopped up it probably siphon the entire bowl empty after you shut it off. The same will happen with the main bleed except you will see the discharge port dripping after shut off untill the bowl is empty. Got to go to a Movie now Curt
you were right Curt
Yep, that seals the deal, the word siphon. The bleeds not only help to tune the circut and add air to atomize with the fuel. The bleeds are essential to shut the flow of the circut off after engine shut down. Via the Siphon effect, the bleeds are a multi purpose componet.
