hes right. it lets air in or out as fuel goes in or out of the carb. if u plugged it, as fuel came into the bowl, the air would have no where to go. the air would then pressurize and fuel would no longer come in. same reason u punch 2 holes in a can of tomato juice. one for the juice to come out. the other for air to go in.
