Study Notes
Carburetor Components
- The carburetor consists of three principal units: fuel metering orifice, main discharge nozzle, and passage leading to the idling system.
Main Metering System
- The three functions of the main metering system are:
- to proportion the fuel-air mixture
- to decrease the pressure at the discharge nozzle exit
- to limit the air flow at full throttle
Choke and Throttle
- A choke valve is used to provide a very rich mixture (as rich as 9:1) for initiating combustion in cold weather conditions.
- At low cranking speeds and intake temperatures, a rich mixture is required because the fuel may remain as liquid suspended in air even in the cylinder.
Fuel Strainer
- A fuel strainer is installed at the inlet to the float chamber to filter gasoline and prevent nozzle blockage by dust particles.
Float Chamber
- The function of a float chamber is to supply fuel to the nozzle at a constant pressure head.
- The fuel level in the float bowl must be maintained slightly below the discharge nozzle outlet holes to provide the correct amount of fuel flow and prevent leakage.
Circuits
- The choke circuit provides a rich mixture for starting the engine in cold weather conditions.
- The idle circuit enables the engine to keep running when the throttle valve is closed or nearly closed.
- The off-idle circuit provides additional fuel when the throttle valve is slightly open.
- The power circuit provides extra fuel at high load levels when engine vacuum drops below a pre-set level.
- The main metering circuit controls fuel feed for cruising and full throttle operations.
