I thought the 'richness or lean-nes' of the fuel/air mixture is controlled by the screws at the base of the carburetor.
Those only control idle. The butterfly closes the airflow into the carb. Less airflow = more rich fuel/air mixture = start motor on less gas because it's not diluted with air.

The accelerator pump is run by the foot pedal.
