FLOAT
SYSTEM
The float chamber is located just below the carburetor body and, with
a
float and
a
needle valve,
maintains
a
constant fuel level during engine operation.
The fuel flows from the fuel tank into the float chamber through needle valve. When the fuel
rises to
a
specific level, the float rises
;
and when its buoyancy and fuel pressure are balanced,
the needle valve closes to shut off the fuel, thereby keeping the fuel at the predetermined level.
