Joe:
It's been a while since I had my carbs torn down, but I think the flow in the emulsifier tube is in the reverse direction: fuel is taken up through the jet in the bottom of the tube, air is sucked in through the holes in the side, they do a little mixing toward the top, and the mixture is then sucked into the throat of the carb, where it is picked up by the air flowing through the carb throat. I don't believe the sides of the tube are actually exposed to the air flow through the throat.
Although it would be possible for debris, and general gunk to plug the holes in the tube, I would expect to find plugging at the jet, or at the holes in the side of the throat for the idle and main fuel supplies, as these are far smaller in diameter than those in the side of the tube.
Anyone have more precise knowledge on this?

Alma's Only-
Thanks for the update!
I guess that's what I get for guessing! :lol:
There were diagrams of carburetors, but too small for me to see on the computer!
Joe. :teeth :thup
I couldn't find a diagram either , and at this point , still am away being tortured with 70+temps and great music in New Orleans. But Im pretty sure Almas Only is correct in that they are on a vertical axis . They are thin walled brass and seem to split or rupture when pressurized .
