Richard L. isn't this statement only true when the carb is fully closed? If my carb is slightly open after a flight the fuel sometimes burbles out the carb.
This statement is true even if the carb is not fully closed. Another word, I can be filling up my tank even with the carb fully opened and the engine won't flood. If you get bubbles out of the carb after a flight, then your plunger is not sealing completely. It's a good idea to relieve tank pressure after each flight.
