As the title states, when using a temp fuel source with my BS34's, should I plug the vaccuum line from the carbs or leave it open?

Plug it.

omr would likely recommend using a bung hole plug whittled out by tb33.

Good Fortune! :)

I think OMR's bung plug would be way too big, but thanks ;)

that's the only dam thing golf tees are any good for who the hell has the time or patience for golf. i know i don't. actually i have a bunch of them in my tool box all the time just for plugging of lines, but i find it's cheaper in the long run just to buy them i tend save my whittling for important stuff like internal engine parts. :blush: :silly:
