Here is a video about a clear carb that you can watch operating through the intake process.
Interesting how the air flow affects the fuel drops and shows back pressure also.
That may help explain why when a guy takes off the factory air intake tubing, and goes to pods, there is a great learning curve to get the mixture flow correct for the engine to run at it's peak.
These CV carbs are even more sensitive to air flow with the slide operation.
