860 GT Enrichener question . PHF 32

Post by Tinkerbell »

Hi All,
I am testing the enricheners on my PHF carbs. I put a small hose on the pickup tube with the little oring at the bottom of the bowl. I can blow air up through the enrichener circuit. It seems to be blowing out a small hole in the side of the carb body. If the enrichener plunger is down , and I block the hole in the carb body, then air does not pass. Is this normal? Is this a vent hole?
Sincerely,
Kara

I wonder if this is the same hole that pees gas when a tickler is pushed for too long. It makes sense that the carb with a choke would also have the same bowl overflow port.
