"Several months ago I sent for the Carburetor Enhancer Manual. I reached over 35% gain in my car's efficiency." - M. F. Babylon NY - ". . . From 17.5 mpg to 31.4 mpg. Easy to install and worked as said in the manual." - J.G. Florida, USA - " I have a 1971 Chevy Malibu, 350 carb. I went from 12 mpg. to 22 mpg. I was surprised at the ease of installation and the great results. I would like to thank you for the money I have saved." - E.M. Perryville MO- |
continued from page 1 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.  |
