How do the following circuits in a carburetor work: float circuit and choke?

What will be an ideal response?


The float circuit works the same way that a toilet does; when the level of fuel rises to a predetermined level, the float closes a needle valve against its seat, stopping further flow from the fuel pump. As the engine uses fuel the float level drops, opening the needle valve and allowing fuel to flow in again from the pump. The float level is important. If it is too high, the air-fuel mixture will be too rich; if too low, the mixture will be too lean.

The choke is a butterfly valve like the throttle valve located in the top of the carburetor. When it is "closed," incoming air is restricted, causing a rich airfuel mixture to help the engine run better when cold.
