USEFUL
BITS OF INFORMATION
cont'd:
•
Adjust Carburetor:
Set your
carburetor functions to Original Equipment
Manufacturer's (OEM) specifications before
installing the Carburetor
Enhancer.
The
Carburetor Enhancer method is meant to
increase the efficiency of carburetors that
are functioning
properly,
it is not a 'bandaid' to fix
problems.
TIP:
As a rule
of thumb, when I am adjusting a carburetor, I
find the
best results by keeping the throttle plates
in as closed a position
as
possible (highest vacuum) and open up the
idle mixture screws to get a smooth idle. You
need a slightly richer mixture at
idle.
Carburetors
that have two float bowls need an entirely
separate Carburetor Enhancer mounted on each
float bowl. Adjust each float bowl
separately.
If you do
not get at
least a 20% increase in mileage by following
to steps outlined in the book, there
is, most
likely, something wrong with your carburetor.
The Carburetor Enhancer Manual has a chapter
on carburetor repair.
•
Marginal Flooding:
Float bowl
flooding is the most common cause of low
mileage in automobiles. Float bowl flooding
costs car drivers millions of dollars per
year. I've seen float bowl flooding so bad
that gasoline was pouring out the top of the
vents. But
the real problem lies
in the
marginal flooding conditions, because people
never know they have a problem that needs
fixing. If your float bowl fuel level rises
one sixteenth of an inch above OEM
specifications, you have float bowl flooding.
The Carburetor Enhancer can not help a
carburetor that has float bowl flooding until
it is fixed.
•
Rebuilt:
Just because
you have just rebuilt a carburetor is no
reason to believe you don't have float bowl
flooding. Experience has shown me that
rebuilds
are just as likely to have problems as old
carburetors.
Example: I've seen new inlet needle valves
that were in worse condition than the old
ones they're replacing.
•
Test Valve:
The most
often cause of float bowl flooding is a bad
inlet needle valve. You can test your inlet
needle valve by using a small air pump
(bicycle pump) and a pressure gauge. Make
sure that the float bowl has it's proper fuel
level and then apply about 10 psi to the fuel
line that leads into the float bowl.
Watch
your pressure gauge, if it
loses
more than 1 psi per minute, you have a leaky
inlet needle valve.
•
Fix It:
If
you find that you have a leaky inlet needle
valve, you
can't expect your carburetor to give you the
efficiency that it should. Do what you can to
have the valve fixed.
