Kevin,

After thinking about it, I mis-stated what happened when my vent line
was full of fuel, loosing ram pressure and using the carb heat.

When I had the problem with the fuel vent line full of gas because of
acidently turning on the aux switch with full main header and aux, I
PULLED THE CARB HEAT ON AND THE ENGINE WOULD RUN. WHEN I PUSHED THE
CARB HEAT OFF THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT. Sorry for the confusion. I think
the carb heat was acting as a choke or something to get the fuel to
flow to the carb. I don't know what else the carb heat on would have
done.

best path

or damn close to it. I don't think you could shorten it more than 1

inch if

you had to.

Quetsion "4" Filters clean (also new)

Question "6" What does the carb heat have to do with fuel?

Obviously

something I don't understand here.
