Accel. pumps squirt. I will go around the block tomorrow and try pumping-- I know what you mean... could indicate if the bowls are empty. I could also shift to second, give it a little gas, and as it starves shift to neutral & cut the key right away... remove the top of the carb & check the bowl... I guess... is that insane?

Should the fuel filter be totally empty all the time? Until the floats open up, and enough gas squirts by to fill them again, then stops & the filter is empty again. I guess I've never paid the closest attention, and I don't always have a filter in the engine bay anyway, but seems it shouldn't be empty?

I gave the idle jets a quick look since it seems to starve well past their cut out-- I'll check closely tomorrow though. Mains I checked, and all appear clear. F11 tubes. Have been running about 1 1/8 turns out at sea level...
