    on engine running if one of the vacuum spigots on one of the carbs on a
    four cylinder engine had lost its cap, and was thus open to the
    atmosphere?...

    Spike says...
    One cylinder runs very lean and runs the risk of holing a piston. At the
    very least you may burn out a valve before this happens.

    What he said. A blob of chewing gum would serve as a get-you-home,
    though.

    What they said, but idling/small throttle would be most affected.
    Maybe the odd backfire too.
