What's an "old rose?"

Never understood the vacuum controlled dash pots of an SU carb. Wired to the throttle as on a motorcycle makes more sense to me.

Therefore, sounds like Wyatt's car has some compression issues as in not enough intake manifold vacuum. I suffer this on a SBC with a big cam. The overlap kills the vacuum at starting revolutions.
