Run a "normal" carburetor at idle and with your finger, open the carb throttle shaft. It more than likely will lean sneeze and stall. That is an over simplification of what’s involved here. This one is a variable venturi carb. Holding the throttle valve part way open actually varies the venturi size. Every time I sit down and reason it all out, I forget the whole thing till the subject comes up again. Then Duh-h-h-h- Hey, it works. That’s good for me.
