It's an enrichment valve inside of some carbs to add fuel to the engine at higher RPM's to prevent a overly lean condition. Of coarse, your carb would have to have one for this to apply. I personally don't know what carbs do and don't other than the Holleys, so maybe some carb guy can chime in here,
