The primary function of a carburetor is to mix fuel and air in the right ratio. Fuel enters the carburetor through the fuel inlet fitting and then to the float bowl which delivers fuel to the other circuits. From there, the fuel goes to the needle valve, which is actuated by the float. When there is insufficient fuel, the float will stay down, keeping the valve open. Once the chamber has enough fuel, the float will go up and close the valve.
A failed float bowl may leak or have too many dirt particles deposits that impede fuel flow. Luckily, you can easily replace a busted float bowl.
