Carburettor at altitude

Hello everyone,

It has been bugging me recently because I don't understand how the physics of a carburettor work with regards to having to change mixture at altitude. Why doesn't the lower air density mean less of a Bernoulli effect therefore less fuel coming out of the carburettor? Why doesn't it work like this?
