Found this video via David Emmett (MotoGP journalist), and it's incredible. Watching the fuel droplet hang suspended in space for a split second before being vapourised by the intake stroke is hypnotic:

His Float is pretty much a useless component it that model.

Dunno, seems to be doing the job of maintaining a reasonable fuel level. I'd be curious whether or not most carbs have that much disturbance from vibration and oscillation...

The butterflies, on the other hand, definitely need work. Not much good to close the throttle if they just fold over...

It's constantly open even when the motor is not running. Yes a carb is constantly being agitated during riding situations. Imagine how much more so with a motocross bike
