FUEL AND LUBRICATION SYSTEM
5 4
STARTER SYSTEM
Turning the choke knob all the way left, slides
starting plunger
to
draw fuel into the starter circuit
from the float chamber through
starter
jet.
Starter jet meters this fuel, which then flows into
starter
pipe and mixes with the air coming from
the float chamber. The mixture, rich in fuel con-
tent, reaches starting plunger and mixes again
with the air coming through a passage extended
from behind the diaphragm.
The two successive mixings of fuel with air are
such that proper airlfuel mixture for starting is
produced when the mixture
Is
sprayed out through
starter outlet into the main bore.
FLOAT SYSTEM
Floats and needle valve are associated
with
the
same
mechanism, so that, as the floats
move up
and down, the needle valve too moves likewise.
When fuel level is up in float chamber, floats are
up and needle valve remains pushed up against
valve seat. Under this condition, no fuel enters
the float chamber.
As the fuel level falls, floats go down and needle
valve unseats
itself
to
admit fuel into the chamber.
In this
manner, needle
valve opens and shuts off
fuel alternately to maintain a practically constant
fuel level inside the float chamber.
