Carburetter Design

(Concluded From Last Week)

The engine man corrects for the future by design whereas the carburelter man "though his hand be quicker than the eye" can only turn on the gas. He has enough to do to meet the normal demand on his carburet- ier. To meet normal require- ments a carburetter must meter a fairly constant mixture ratio for full thrott'e, varying the #mount of fuel with the air con. sumed, provide n varying mix- ture ratio for part throttle or rond loads, compensating for the varying exhaust residue left in the combustion chamber: nnel the ability of the engine to burn lean mixtures throughout the range, It must racter an} ling mixture ratlo that in relatively rich, which must not bleed back and mut cut off without leaving a flat spot, rich' enough for a tight engine and lean enough for loosened-up engine. We must have a super- rich mixture for acceleration at part throttle and a at richer one for full throttle accelera- tion, and last, but certainly not least, a definitely calibrated starting mixture rátio that will burn at the coldest prevailiný air temperature.
