Camshafts and Compression

I'm just gonna add this and I am done. I'm tired of being argued down by self professed gurus. So I'm askin this. Since metering rods don't affect idle, as our thermoquad guru claims, then why is it that when an engine has low manifold vacuum from a large camshaft and the metering rod tree bounces because of an erratic vacuum signal causing the engine to surge at idle? I'll tell you why. It's because the engine certainly DOES see some fuel from the main jets at idle, just like the Carters, Edelbrocks, and the newer Street Demons. If you could "take the metering ford out" as our friend suggested, you'd not see any of that, since the metering rods don't affect idle in his world. I've seen it first hand in all the carburetors I mentioned. Believe whatever you will. Over and OUT.
