So you use sales ads for your technical information? That helps explain your opinion on this.

And I have no idea what you are trying to say about the pump squirters. Did you read that in an advertisement, too?

Bottom line; the secondary air door is not essential to the operation of the secondaries. It can be an asset and certainly helps in some applications but is not an absolute necessity.
