have you ever filled a drinking straw with Coke or any other liquid, held a finger over one end, then lifted it up out of the glass ? The liquid doesn't flow, or barely flows, right ? Same thing. Without air flowing into the carb, gas cannot, and will not flow properly.

at the other end of your car, stick a potato up the exhaust pipe(s). See how long the car runs.

Free flowing rules.
