Stop in for a cup of coffee

I'm just too overwhelmed with stuff, but sounds like things have gone downhill at RFS.
When there is a radical change like those just described, like .069 to .076" diameter, then we learn very little.
Something was way off in at least one of the tsts, or maybe both.

On a properly set up carb, small changes in airbleeds should produce a predictable change in fuel.
When a little bit of air is introduced to a circuit and mixes in as tiny bubbles the mixture has less density than plain fuel. It is lighter and flows quicker. It passes through restrictions downstream more easily. These are reasons why in some situations there can be more fuel flow with increasing air bleed.

When the bleed is too big then the air is no longer tiny bubble but big bubbles. These bubbles can join together to make large bubbles of air between the fuel. Then its totally unpredictable but likley will spurt unevenly.

Another factor is the fuel restriction and air bled in can't be going from laminar flow to turbulent flow. Again everything becomes unpredictable then.

This is why the old Holley's (and Carters etc) are usually the best references to work from. When carbs had to work consistantly for production vehicles, the holes were in the positions and sizes that I call the working range. We can step those up or down a little and not get wacky results.

Matt, don't mistake my words for any ill thoughts or like RFS is going downhill. There just seems to be disagreement on here, RFS, YB, etc as to increasing or decreasing air bleeds makes them rich or come in sooner. To me it appears to be a finite value. Too little and it doesn't flow well, too much also, doesn't flow well. One due to not enough emulsion because of too little added air, and one due to not enough emulsion and flow because of too much air and turbulence. I think the Steve Brule test was to show large changes to get baseline, then fine tune it, read: which way is it happier, then fine adjustments.
