Default RE: Backplate pressure question

I just make a .015 hole in the pressure tap so it dampens the pressure and fuel doesn't accidentally get in the crankcase.  A check valve would do that too.  I will admit I haven't tried it on a throttled engine yet, but it worked well with a centrifugal fuel switch and a pipe with a monster size hole in the carb. and control line goodyear racers.  I will have to try a throttled one, but will be busy for a while.  The new field isn't ready yet.
