Reply to "Are these Kadron Solex carbs? And filters missing??"

@WOLFGANG hmm very interesting. I can't help but wonder if that solution performs equivalently or even better than a filter media-based solution (paper or cloth or whatever they can be).

I guess I should mention what I just did above to @Robert M: "I smell fumes even when in the driver seat. I was assuming that it's out the exhaust from running lean vs rich, but perhaps it's from these carbs because fumes dumped into that mesh chamber are easily escaping out?"

I guess I don't know enough about the function of the carb, I thought it pulls in air, in which case gases wouldn't make it out and into my nose in the driver seat. But perhaps it doesn't vacuum at all, or there are times when it doesn't. If so, perhaps having a paper filter would contain those fumes? Maybe I'm way off here, but seems reasonable.
