- Float Valve
-
- The float valve
- assembly regulates
- the amount of gas
- available inside
- the carburetor for
- immediate use when
- you press the
- accelerator pedal.
- The float rides
- inside a
- "float-bowl" which
- holds a small fuel
- reserve. As the
- level of fuel in
- the bowl goes down
- the float pulls
- open the float
- valve, allowing
- gasoline from the
- fuel pump to enter
- the bowl. When the
- fuel rises to the
- proper level, the
- float closes the
- valve and stops the
- fuel flow.
