BJ/BK Carbs Problem with the tubes from bowl to bowl

[Kent]

What is the purpose of this tube just an exchange of atmospheric pressure and will this make any difference? Any idea here in the forum why someone pressed one end together? And where do I get the washer and o ring to seal this?

Hi Kent,
If you look on the AIR FUEL SPARK site you should be able to figure out what you need.
Hope this is helpful.

Thats a balance tube,its fore keeping pressure and fuel level at the same height in both chambers. In the old holley gasket kits there was included whashers fore those tubes,not anymore, todays gaskets takes care of the sealing fore those tubes

I fixed it the proper way with an o-ring and a washer. I also opened up the tube again. The carbs are running now really good. I also found a wrong gasket, its crazy how many carbs are done wrong.
