I have PMO's on a SC based 3.2 ltr. in my 914. After the car sits for a time the float bowls are empty. Were the heck is the fuel going? Any ideas?

Evaporation

Carbs are open systems
Unlike modern induction which is a sealed system

And the reason they no longer meet emissions standards

There was also nice a Honda advertisement where two vehicles were separately placed in a sealed room to test hydrocarbons

The mid 80’s Honda was fuel injected and with the motor running

The mid 80’s American car was parked and not with the motor running


The Honda running produced less emissions than the carb’d car which was not running
