No personal experience with it, but in the day, I think it was Eric Tucker that said don't modify them. I think he referred to them as pressure compensating tubes. We call them drip tubes because that is our experience. I bought a couple of very small Stainless funnels that I plan on mounting just below the tubes to catch any overflow. I have experienced dripping after a carb rebuild. It seems the new needles were not sealing well. Lots of rough running at idle and gas on the ground. Then I had the pans under the carbs, but those were a nuisance when removing the float bowl and servicing. Just in the way big time.
