Float System

The puprpose of float circuit is to maintain an adequate supply of liquid fuel at the proper, predetermined level in the bowl for use by the idle, accelaration pump, power and main metering circuits. One or 2 separate float circuits may be used, each circuit containing a float assembly, needle adn aseat. All circuit ar esupplied with fuel from the bowl.
All fuel enters the fuel bowl through the fuel inlet fitting in the carburetor body. The fuel inlet needle seats in the fuel inlet fitting. The fuel inlet needle is controlled by a float and a level which is hinged by a float shaft.
The fuel inlet system must constantly maintain teh specified level of fuel as the absic fuel metering systems are calibrated to deliver the proper …show more content…

This low pressure causes fuel to flow from teh fuel bowl through the main jets and into the main wells. Air from the main air bleed mixes the fuel through holes in the sides of main well tube. The mixtures is tehn drawn from th emain well tube and discharged through teh venturi nozzle. As air flow through the carburetor increases, teh amount of air fuel mixture discharged also increases.
On feedback carburetor, a mixture control solenoid or vacuum modualtor is used to ocntrol the air/fuel mixture. This can be done by regulating the amount of air bleed or fuel (in some case both are controlled) avaiable to teh main circuit. The solenoid or modulator actuates a stepped or taperred needle in theair bleed or main jets to do this. By controlling the amount of fuel released or air bleed, the solenoid/modualtor regualtes the total air/fuel mixture.

Accelarating Pump System
When the throttle paltes are opened suddenly, teh air flow thriugh the carburetor respond almost immediately. However, there is a breif time interval or lag the additional fuel can move the system and main tain the desired air/fual ratio. The accelerating pump provides a measured amount of fuel necessary to insure smooth engine operation upon accelaration.
When the throttle is opened, the pump plunger actuates the pump piston or diaphragm. This closes the intake check valve, forcing fuel out through the discharged passage and out through th pump jets. At higher
