A gasket is located between the body and the fuel bowl. The fuel bowl is molded of plastic and includes an integral well, and a mixing screw housing as well as a primer housing. A plastic nozzle extends from the well through the venturi insert into a through passage into the body.

The nozzle is resiliently urged against the gasket and the body by means of a spring located in the well thereby sealing the nozzle to the body.
