With the stock EVAP system, the fumes are stored in the canister from the gas tank and the carburetor fuel bowls until the engine is READY to burn them. For example, the purge valve does not operate at all during idle, or at wide open throttle. Secondly, it only empties the canister and feeds the fumes into the engine when the engine has reached operating temperature.
