Partial Throttle Operation

With throttle valve partially open, air being pulled into carburetor by vacuum, draws premixed air/fuel mixture from emulsion tube into discharge arm and into intake port. Air which enters through auxiliary air jet prevents mixture from being too rich during full load. Auxiliary fuel jet controls increase of fuel progressively with increase of idle RPM.
