is there any advantage to having a working dashpot diaphram? the only advantage i can see is that it keeps the throttle linkage from possibly loosening the throttle stop screw. is there something else that i'm overlooking? TIA

 

The dashpot helps smooth the idle out when dropping the revs down to idle ..it keeps the throtle plate open for 1 sec or 2 to even everything out. Instead of having it drop harshly and then comn back up in the revs.
