You have a lot more experience with the less-capable carbs and it has colored your opinion of all of them. Not without reason. I can appreciate that.

I don't recall if anyone mentioned it earlier, but talking about carbs reminds me of carb heat in light aircraft. Have you considered that in your gas vapor pursuits? NOTE: don't ask me any detailed questions as I pretty much only know that it exists, how it works is beyond me. There are some private pilots on here who I'm certain can speak a lot more intelligently on that subject than I can.
