Normal Operation

Vacuum in the intake passage draws fuel out of spray arm. This arm is connected to a vertical well which contains an air correction jet with emulsion tube pressed into it. Fuel flows to the well from float chamber via the main jet. As fuel level in emulsion tube drops, air is drawn in through correction jet. This air passes out of the holes in the emulsion tube and mixes with fuel from the main jet.
