Hi guys!
I'm beginner laminator so I will be appretiate you for you help.

I have a round shaped mold. There is common 2 plies of 200 g 4H satin carbon fabric and extra 4 plies on the other area (support area). 
I have no idea how to impregnate this one by minimal quantity of resin. I guess I need at least two points of resin feed. One of this needed to be in the geometrical center of support area.
Thanks

Looks like very simple shape and laminate.

Is this a cosmetic type part that really needs infusion for a great finish?

You could also consider just a wet layup with vacuum bagging using perf film and breather etc as this will be much easier for a beginner than the infusion, would still have good resin ration but may not be the 100% cosmetic finish you want?
