| * **The Accelerating Pump System**: The accelerating pump system works with sudden throttle openings (rapid acceleration) to quickly inject fuel into the carb to provide extra fuel for the engine demand. Rapid throttle action pushes the pump rod down, flexing the diaphragm, which compresses fuel underneath the diaphragm, forcing it up past the check valve and out the pump nozzle into the venturi. The check valve prevents backflow while the pump nozzle meters the flow. Spring action then returns the diaphragm back to it's original position. As the diaphragm returns, a new supply of fuel flows in and under it so the system will be ready to repeat the cycle with the next rapid throttle action detected.

| * **The Choke System**: The choke is manually set by pulling out on the choke button. Pulled all the way out is fully closed (for cold engine), partially open (for warm engine) or pushed all the way in, fully open (for warm engine).

| - | * **Additional Tips** on usage: | + | |
| - | * Make sure the low speed and main jets are larger than stock to match the more free-flowing aftermarket exhausts and air filters we all seem to run. ((Hopper of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=659533)) | + | |
| - | * Do not run a worn out ignition auto advance unit. It makes carb farts that you would swear were lean low speed mixture.((Hopper of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=659533)) | + | |
