I have been wondering since i first discovered how they work...
Will a CV style carb still work and pull your butt down the road if the slide dosnt move at all? The answer is yes! I have a customer that has been losing power and speed with his GY6 powered 49cc scoot. He did all the "norm" stuff, checking and changing fluids and filters. It ran a little better but still wasnt running up to par. 40MPH indicated with the stock speedo. He brought it to me yesterday and the first thing i checked was the diaphragm in the carb. There was a little hole in it preventing the slide from even working and enough air from getting into the engine.
He said he has a spare at home so i didnt put a new one in right away but im sure this is what caused his lose in power lately. I went ahead and checked the valves and they were still right on from last summer.
I will call him today and see how much that helped. Im sure he is right back up to the norm again
