Sample content from this 1980-1983 Kawasaki KL250 Motorcycle Service Manual:

The lower part of the jet needle is tapered and extends down into the needle jet. It is fixed to the vacuum piston, and thus rises up in the needle jet as the vacuum piston rises. From the time the vacuum piston starts rising, about 1/4 throttle, until it reaches most of the way up in the carburetor bore, the fuel is metered primarily by the jet needle taper. As the jet needle rises, the needle-to-jet clearance increases, thereby increasing the amount of fuel that can pass up through the jet. The vacuum piston is attached to the diaphragm and rises only between 1/4 and 3/4 throttle. Through the hole in the bottom of the piston, the air pressure In the bottom of the piston, the air pressure in the chamber above the diaphragm is reduced by engine intake vacuum. The air vent maintains atmospheric pressure in the chamber under the diaphragm. As engine speed increases, air pressure in the upper chamber decreases. The difference between this pressure and atmospheric pressure in the lower chamber becomes greater. The force of the spring and the weight of the piston are overcome, and the piston rises to an extent corresponding to this pressure difference. The diaphragm is made of rubber and absorbs the vibration caused by engine intake pulsing to prevent the vacuum piston from wearing.
