Fuel Primers; Components - Tecumseh TC 200 Technician's Handbook

At high speed operation, the throttle shutter is in a full open
position. The air velocity through the venturi increases which
further lowers the air pressure at the main fuel
discharge port. All discharge ports are supplying fuel as the
adjustment orifices will allow (diag. 3-4).
The fuel pump diaphragm in the carburetor moves up and
down by pressure changes (pulsations) caused by piston
movement. The pulsations are transferred to the pump by
a passage called the impulse channel. The pump
diaphragm moves up drawing fuel into the pump fuel
chamber during a positive pulse, and a negative pulse
moves the diaphragm down forcing fuel out of the fuel
chamber through the inlet needle into the metering
chamber.

FUEL PRIMERS

Primers used on TC engines supply a solid fuel charge to the
carburetor main nozzle (diag. 3-5). Fuel is forced directly
into the carburetor venturi.
shutter is not needed or used when a primer is used. This
charge of fuel provides the rich mixture necessary to start the
engine.
Below the main nozzle is a one way check valve to prevent
fuel from being drawn back into the fuel chamber when the
primer bulb is released. The check valve also prevents
air from entering the carburetor during normal engine
operation.
