Nope, it still doesn't hurt the piston rings. It will damage several other things but not the piston rings.

Still no make model, year, engine size, horsepower rating or any discription what so ever for the mystery lawnmower carb?
If you cant handle the lawn mower carb question why should we believe anything else?

I know why every one uses large advanced carbs.
Cold starting ability, idle quality, drive ability, smooth transission between idle, cruise, full power and having enough power to get up to speed is nice.
I see no advantage going from 4 barrel multi system 1970s carburetor tech or 1960s 2bbl tech back to primative 1920s single barrel tech.
