Default Re: stocker gas line

Just curious, wondering (surely this has been tested) about the flow rate difference through a given size needle & seat assy (say a .125" or .150" dia orfice in the seat) with various i.d. fuel hoses, all much larger I.d. than the orfice in the needle & seat? A Quadrajet only has one, with a small float bowel for all four jets. I'm guessing the most difficult carb to keep full enough? Kinda seems like if the fuel line/hose I.d. was larger than that one orfice, a larger line would not help. Pretty interesting, thinking how a much larger line would alter the flow rate through the seat orfice.
