Hit The GAS!1. Once you step on the gas pedal and the throttle linkage cracks open the throttle blades in the baseplate, the accelerator pump squirters at the top of the venturi feed fuel quickly into the intake manifold, which increases the engine rpm.

The boosters are connected to the main well passages that lead to the main jet in the fuel bowls.
