DIAPHRAGM CHAMBER INLET TENSION SPRING MAIN DIAPHRAGM DIAPHRAGM BUTTON STARTING CHOKE OPERATION Starting an engine with the HL Carburetor involves the same methods that are used in a conventional float feed carburetor However since a diaphragm carburetor does not have the advantage of a great reservoir of fuel upon which to operate the technique changes somewhat When starting a cold engine place the choke shutter in the closed position and throttle shutter in a cracked or open position Several pulls on the starter may be needed to raise the fuel pressure to the required amount As the engine is pulled through with the choke in closed position engine suction will be transmitted to the diaphragm fuel chamber through both primary and secondary idle discharge parts as well as the main fuel discharge part creating a low pressure area on the fuel side of the main diaphragm Atmospheric air pressure on the opposite side will force the main diaphragm upward causing the diaphragm button to depress the inlet control lever overcoming inlet tension spring pressure permitting fuel to enter through the inlet seat by forcing inlet needle off its seat contact then into the fuel chamber side of main diaphragm up through the idle and main fuel supply orifices and channels and out the discharge parts to the engine In starting an engine that has been idle and not running for more than an hour it will be necessary to operate and manoeuvre the ch
