The enrichment device utilizes separate air and fuel pickup passageways and is engaged by pulling fast idle level upward. See Picture 28. Super
E carburetors also feature an accelerator pump which is actuated by quick throttle movements at partial throttle openings and can be used as an
additional starting aid.
