Thanks Guys..you gave a wide variety of opinions..!!

If the pressure is 48 psi at idle with 20 " Vacuum, they do idle surprisingly well..
I wonder why we ween to think anything under 60 psi is not enough for an engine to operate..??
I know there would not be much "power", seems that is where we seem to draw the line..!!

Fuel would certainly vaporize better in a cylinder with a moderately high vacuum...

Then, we get to a Diesel that runs at FULL compression all the time and has metered fuel, to idle...exactly the opposite of a gas engine (more or less)...!!

Interesting topic...!

Ron.
