Default valve

It appears to be a contradiction at first ..a valve that allows more fuel into the flow, being called a economiser .

I know the series 1 Land Rover Solex PBI-2 has one , it operates on a vacuum principle, it opens/closes according to the vacuum present in the inlet manifold . A rubber diaphram is ported to the inlet manifold and a valve in its centre , with a spring , opens with low vacuum present. Something along those lines anyway !
