The other day as I ritually open the bonnet and check coolant, oil, brake and power steering levels, before start up, leaving the hood open, I checked the level of fuel on the non-usa 21100-61100 Aisan Carburetor sight glass and saw bubbles originating from the left or engine side of the glass with the engine running. What would be causing this?
I was thinking air in the fuel lines but would you see this because the needle valve is filling the reservoir from the top. The only port ( I think) on the left side is for #2 slow speed jet. Has anyone seen this condition before and what might it indicate since I'm seeing no current change in performance?
 
I don't have a Secondary Slow Cut Valve on my carburetor, from the post you provided it looks to be what was added to FJ60s but maybe not cause I don't have any smog stuff on the engine or carburetor and I don't think that non-usa carburetors had SSJ valves on them either.
Need a Carburetor Guru to wade in, "Where are you Pin_Head!!"
