🔧 Carburetor Adjustment: Why It's Essential for Your Engine
Many engines manufactured before the year 2000 are equipped with carburetors. These components regulate the engine's fuel supply. Air flows through the carburetor into the engine, with the Venturi effect drawing in fuel. The ratio of air to fuel, known as the Air/Fuel Ratio (AFR), is crucial for optimal performance. The ideal AFR is 14.7:1.
⚠️ Dangers of a Wrong AFR
Too Poor Mixture (AFR > 14.7:1)
-
Symptoms:
- Difficult to start
- Reduced acceleration
- White spark plugs
-
Engine overheating
-
Risks:
- Damage to pistons and valves
-
Increased risk of engine failure
Too Rich Mixture (AFR < 14.7:1)
-
Symptoms:
- Black, sooty spark plugs
- Poor fuel efficiency
-
Smoke from the exhaust
-
Risks:
- Engine contamination
-
Decreased performance
