Blocking secondaries

The quote about the Opel on this thread...
http://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=8613&page=2
renewed my thoughts that blocking the secondary would help FE.

I have wondered for some time how much air leaks past the secondary butterfly, and how much gas "leaks" past the secondary float valve.

Has anyone tried blocking the secondary off completely to make a small 2 bbl carb?

This is what I am considering on my Holley 4160...

1. A rectangle of aluminum flashing sandwiched between two gaskets to block the secondary bore.

2. A plug for the gas tube connecting the front and rear float bowels.

These modifications are reversible if it produces undesirable results.
