Bypass Valve

["Gary Fluke" <res0s0t7@verizon.net>]

Listers,

Now I have discovered that each of the bypass valves on my Z-S carbs have been
blocked off by the placing of a solid gasket between the valve and the carb
body.  The rebuild instructions say the valves are there to stop exhaust
popping when backing off the throttle at high RPM.  I don't recall any
popping.  Does anyone have thoughts, pro or con, about blocking off the
valve?
