Not only is it passing x cubic feet of air per minute, its vapourizing the fuel into the airstream.
Most cars have heated manifolds, to prevent carburettor icing from this.
I once had a split water hose which forced a rejig to the heating to go elsewhere,
and the result was carburettor icing HELL - the carb would ice up, block off the flow,
the engine would cut out, freewheel for a while, the blockage would melt,
and the whole process repeat. You wondered if it was going to get home.
(It was a damp day.)
I note the above mentions only half advancing the timing.
This means its running with retarded timing.
Most engines hate this, it can leading to overheating most promptly.
Riders really need to control this function quite diligently.
Not fully opening the air lever means its effectively running with the choke part/half on.
Most engines hate this, and will chuff black smoke and carry on.
