Function
The function of starter circuit is to provide rich air fuel mixture on starting / cold starting. At cold engine 
condition the air is dense also the engine parts are cold enough this does not allow the petrol to 
vaporize properly this leads to starting trouble.
Construction
The Starter Circuit consists of a starter jet and a plunger. The starter jet is used to meter the fuel and a 
plunger that opens an air passage from the inlet of the carburettor (underneath the diaphragm) which 
passes the mixture to the mainfold.
Working
On pulling the choke lever the plunger is lifted by a cable. This uncovers the fuel passage that leads to 
the starter jet, air inlet passage and the outlet passage towards the manifold. This creates enough 
suction to draw fuel up from the bowl into the mixing chamber (below the plunger). Here the fuel is 
mixed with the air and the mixture is drawn into the engine through the outlet passage.

Function
The pilot circuit provides the air fuel mixture at idling when not enough air is being drawn through the 
carburettor to cause the main circuit to operate.
Construction
The pilot circuit consists of pilot jet, pilot air jet and volume control screw. The pilot jet meters the fuel 
and the pilot air jet meters the air quantity. The volume control (VC) screw controls the amount of air fuel 
mixture flowing through the pilot outlet.
Working
As the air enters the pilot air inlet the fuel is metered by pilot jet and air quantity is metered by pilot air 
jet. The atomized / vaporized mixture is discharged through the pilot outlet. The pilot outlet is located on 
the manifold side of the carburettor. Since the throttle valve is almost at fully closed position, air fuel 
mixture is supplied mainly by pilot outlet only. Air fuel mixture volume is adjusted by volume control (VC) 
screw and mixture becomes lean when volume control (VC) screw turned clockwise and rich when it is 
turned Anticlockwise direction.
