soldered shut and the front one standard (present and functioning). I was
going to ask the list but forgot until this discussion jogged my memory:
Why would you do this?
Also, why would someone (I assume it wasn't the DPO, was it, Mike ? :)
hehe ) only do it to one carb?
Further, is this what made it hard to balance my carbs at idle?
I was going to replace the soldered valve, but maybe I should be doing
some soldering on the front one instead. Pros/cons, anyone?

Mike,
The little temperature sensitive spring-loaded by-passes loose their "spring"
and I don't think replacements are available. Mine still work and I won't
think about doing away with them until they fail.
