Yep, you sure gave me the cereal packet explanation. I'm sure you also think the Bernoulli principle is solely responsible for keeping aeroplanes in the air but I digress... (Hoping against hope that Bill goes and looks Bernoulli up and maybe learns something...)

How in the world did you psychoanalyze all that from what I wrote?

Martin claimed "I'm not even sure you know *how* a carb works... Venturi effect? static versus total pressure? Surprise me...."

So I surprised him: I condensed draft carburetion into a single paragraph.
