Study Notes
Basic Fuel Control Unit
- Contains four valves:
- Idle Needle Valve
- Power Enrichment Valve
- Regulator Fill Valve
- Manual Mixture
- Carburetor controls fuel flow by:
- Varying pressure
- Acting as a pressure-reducing valve
Manual Mixture Control Valve Plate
- Four settings:
- Full Rich
- Auto Lean
- Auto Rich
- Idle Cut Off
Regulator Unit
- Regulates fuel pressure to the inlet side of the metering jets
Carburetor Fuel Strainer
- Also called gascolator
- Located in the inlet to the chamber of the carburetor
Fuel Control Unit (FCU)
- Attached to the regulator assembly
- Regulates metering jets and valve controls
- Meters and controls fuel flow
Basic Units
- Consist of three jets and four valves arranged in series:
- Series
- Parallel
- Series parallel hook-ups
