-  * **Side view**
-    * Air intake from the airbox.
-    * Choke valve seat.
-    * Pilot screw seat.
-    * Duct for the high intake vacuum that acts on the //air cut-off valve// diaphragm.
-    * //Air cut-off valve//: air in.
-    * //Air cut-off valve//: air out.
-  * **Float chamber**
-    * Main jet
-    * Slow jet
-    * Starter jet (choke/enrichment jet)
-    * Float valve
-    * Breath hole
-  * **Vacuum chamber**
-    * Air intake for the //air cut-off valve//: normally open. It closes on deceleration (high rpm + throttle closed).
-    * Air intake for the slow jet.
-    * Air intake for the choke.
-    * Small vent that connects the chambers above and below the diaphragm: it acts as a vacuum/pressure control and damping system.
-  * **Airbox view**
-    * Air intake for the pilot/idle and the //air cut-off valve// circuit.
-  * **Engine view, bottom**
-    * Primary pilot outlet port. This is the main idle fuel outlet, controlled by slow jet and pilot screw.
-    * Pilot progression ports. They provide staged extra fuel during throttle opening.
-  * **Engine view, top**
-    * Vacuum conduct that operates the //air cut-off valve//.
-  * **Slide, diaphragm, needle**
-    * Slide lift holes: vacuum bleed holes that control how quickly pressure changes reach the above diaphragm chamber.
-  * **Float bowl**
-    * Drain screw.
-    * Drain conduct.
