I’m not sure it does!!! If the electrical analogy is correct, fuel should run from both tubes simultaneously at a flow rate inversely proportional to the line resistance. I suspect a hydraulic analogy would be more appropriate. Just saying😀😀😀

Morala:
hi Sesman thanks for your input, will get the dictionary out to understand the lingo lol.I was wondering would it be possible to use a Y connector from the input lines going to the carbs and connect to the one outlet on the fuel tap thats working just a thought as not sure if the fuel feed would be enough to feed the carbs with only one fuel line working cheers.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
You need to keep both outlets, they will balance themselves out, I have fitted inline Aero filters to mine as well.

If you have worries about the other outlet blow up it, you might have something causing the pressure differential, I assume you have checked the filter, the tap internals etc.
If you connect the good flow side to one of the pair of carbs then turn on the tap the other side will undoubtedly flow with petrol.

Bryanj:
Try it see what happens, 99.9% certain petrol will piss out of the unconnected spigot, as to the electrickery take two leads from a battery pos and connect one to the neg via a bulb then connect the other direct to the negvand see if the bulb stays lit! Always takes path of least resistance
