Thanks Dave,
You're right. Turns out it is a port to the bypass valve, which the US Stag=
carbs had but the UK ones did not. Same as TR6 which has that slot in the i=
nsulators. Will either order a set of TR6 insulators which hopefully are th=
e same thickness or just cut the slot in the ones I have.
Thanks,
Frank
