    I have just recieved a Webber Carb, model 341CEV which is significantly
    different to the Webber carb I purchased 8 or 9 years ago. It came with
    no instructions.
    Thge throttle butterfly is mounted in a separate casting which is fixed
    to the base of the carb by a couple of screws.
    In this separate base is the obviuos connection for the distibutor vacuum
    supply. There are two additional - approx. 1/4" dia - pipes fitted to the
    base casting. Anyone any idea what these are used for? If I blow into
    one, the air exits the other one, if I block one off with a finger and
    suck on the other I can feel the suction at my finger. It appears to me
    that these pipes are of no use. Seems odd to fit a couple of pipes that
    serve no function, unless the base is used on another carb variant that
    has some use for them.
