Main Circuit: (See Figure 5-3) At high speeds/loads the engine operates on the main circuit. As a metered
amount of air is drawn through the main air bleed jet, fuel is drawn through the main jet. The air and fuel are
mixed in the main nozzle and then enter the main body of airow, where further mixing of the fuel and air takes
place. This mixture is then delivered to the combustion chamber. The carburetor has a xed main circuit; no
adjustment is possible.
