Nissan Micra Carburetor Diagram - Main, Slow, Step & Power Valve Systems
Cutaway schematics of carburetor fuel systems including main, slow, power valve, and accelerating pump.
This page, from a factory-style service manual section titled "CARBURETOR" (page EF & EC-13, figure reference SEF860A), presents five labeled cutaway schematic diagrams explaining the internal fuel-metering circuits of a two-barrel (primary/secondary) carburetor. The systems illustrated are: the Power valve system (showing the vacuum piston, power valve, primary main jet, and primary main air bleed); the Step system (secondary slow air bleed, secondary slow jet, secondary main jet, and step port on the secondary side); the Main system (needle valve — misspelled "Neelde valve" in the scan — fuel inlet, float, float chamber, filter, primary main air bleed, primary main jet, richer air bleed, richer jet, richer nozzle, secondary main air bleed, and secondary main jet); the Slow system (primary slow air bleed, primary slow jet, slow cut solenoid valve, slow adjusting screw, idle nozzle, and primary slow economizer air bleed); and the Accelerating pump system (pump plunger, inlet and outlet check balls, and injector). A reader can learn where each jet, air bleed, valve, and passage is located within the carburetor body and how the primary and secondary sides are arranged, which is useful for diagnosis, cleaning, and rebuilding the carburetor.

Frequently asked questions
- What carburetor systems are shown in this diagram page?
- Five systems are illustrated: the Power valve system, Step system, Main system, Slow system, and Accelerating pump system.
- What components make up the accelerating pump system?
- The diagram labels a pump plunger, an inlet check ball, an outlet check ball, and an injector, delivering fuel to the primary side.
- Where is the idle mixture adjusted according to this diagram?
- The Slow system diagram shows a slow adjusting screw near the idle nozzle on the primary side, along with the slow cut solenoid valve, primary slow jet, primary slow air bleed, and primary slow economizer air bleed.
- What parts are labeled in the main (float) system?
- The needle valve, fuel inlet, float, float chamber, filter, primary main air bleed, primary main jet, richer air bleed, richer jet, richer nozzle, secondary main air bleed, and secondary main jet.
- What does the step system control?
- The step system diagram shows the secondary side circuit, including the secondary slow air bleed, secondary slow jet, secondary main jet, and step port.
