Carburetor Confusion

Posted by Sam Sargent On 2014/2/11 12:45:49

Making final adjustments on my carb rebuild (Carter WDO 644s - 1950 2362), I noticed a "vent" or hole in the base. There's a screen inside at the top of the hole which makes it look like it's designed to allow air in. The hole is bored up from the bottom of the base and has another opening from the side. The base gasket only seals about 80% of the bottom hole and the side is not blocked at all. I'm not sure if have the correct base gasket, or if the side hole is missing something or both should be left as is.
-Any thoughts on this is (as always) appreciated!
