think basic principle is:

Throttle opens, engine sucks in air, causing vacuum,

vacuum cause metering flap to be pulled down

metering head flap\arm pivot is connected to a push rod system i.e (i.e flap goes down, rod goes up.

rod allows fuel flow through, futher down the flap goes higher the rod goes allow more fuel.

think thats the basic principle

 

sounds about right

 

simple design but works very well

They don't work on S2's mate, there's little pixies that magic the engine away every time the bonnets down and you turn the key. Then they hold onto little ropes and drag the car along.
