I would guess that it has a rubber type of diaphragm that is used to pump fuel into the pistons old style fuel pumps were moved by the engine which pumped fuel to the carb then the carb dumped it into the cylenders today this is done through electronic pumps usually housed in the fuel tank to electronic fuel injecting carbs that controle the amount of fuel to each cylender
