Balancing Tube

[The Force power]

This tube (#34)sits between the two carbs & is in direct airflow with each carb. What is the real function of this?

Called an equalizer tube.
It equalizes the pressure/air flow between the carbs.
Really doesn't do all that much but it makes it run different when not installed.

Dug some deeper & found in motor / vintage cars forums that it helps with the adjusting the Carbs ( some have and some don't depending on the manifold )
I thought it had something to do with possible air-pressure incase the reeds are not sealing properly and being bled into the cylinder that on the upstroke. learning new things everyday.......

Another thing: when adjusting the carbs the tube needs to be blocked off or pinched off for best results.
