FUEl
SYSTEM

Secondary

The

high

good
acceleration
are

gained
with

combination
of

the

auxiliary
valve

The

incorporates
a

servo

diaphragm
The
servo
dia

phragm
helps
open
the
throttle

valve
at
a

decreasing

so
as

to
reduce

the
emission
of

hydrocarbons
to
a

minimum

An

anti

solenoid

is
used
as
a

means
of

preventing

When
the

ignition
key
is
turned
off
the
fuel

passage
involved
in
the
slow

system
is

closed

and
the
fuel

supply
is
shut

In

the
choke

mechanism
an

electric
automatic

is
used
to

automatically

The
carburetor

for

is

equipped
with
so
called

dash

These

carburetors
are

quite
