1) Fuel from the fuel tank enters the float chamber through the needle valve, which is kept open while the fuel level is
low.
2)
When the fuel level rises, the float is allowed to move up and lift the arm connected to the needle valve.

the float chamber
is
suctioned into the engine through the carb venturi, the fuel amount
