[QUOTE="mjanderson, post: 157724, member: 4009"] I've been following this thread with great interest because I am using the 32-34 on my bike. Joe has blazed a trail like a pioneer on modifying this carb and I have already used much of the info. I was considering blocking off the idle feeds as described in the thread. Before doing so, I took some time to look at another carb body I have and I've come to the conclusion that those two outer holes in the primary bore are for above-the-throttle-plate vacuum feeds instead of idle gas ports. You can trace the tubes up the outside of the carb body to the two vacuum ports on the side. To verify this, I took an eyedropper and forced water through the two vacuum ports. As I expected, the water exited into the primary bore via those two outer holes. So it seems to me that the only idle gas feeds are the one for the idle mixture screw and those three other holes directly above it. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
