Never taken a close look at an airplane carb, but I understand that the
standard config (not this stromberg, but rather something like in a
basic 172N) has a fuel-bowl vent upstream of the venturi, making the air
pressure in the fuel bowl pretty much equal to the air intake
pressure.... Kind of like a standard auto carb from a few years ago when
they still had them. Let me know if that's not right.


They're basically a float bowl and a tube. not a lot to complicate them,
really. Probably the simplest carbs in operation today.
