Just a guess... Maybe it has a water heated choke and these pipes are the
water inlet and outlet?? ¼ inch sounds a bit small though.

Subject: LRO: Webber Carb question.
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.
