They don't really work that way, or at least the later ones didn't. Had mine in the 70s. The spark plug replacement piece used a pair of flapper valves to draw in outside air. Think of the plug as a hollow tube with the hose attached to the top, and slots cut along the side of the tube. Inside the tube a couple of pieces of hard curved cardboard served as the flapper valve. Running at an idle the piston is pulling a pretty good vacuum, so the flapper inlet becomes the main source of air. Of course some fuel vapors had to be along for the ride, but I couldn't smell much.
They didn't work very well. Mine got me home three times though, from the true middle of nowhere, riding a motorcycle through the desert southwest.
