Prolonged high cylinder ‘emperatures may also lead to pregnition and may melt the piston crown. Under actual operating conltions, fuel vaporization and combustion are less than perfect, Conseavently, maximum poster i usally developed with an aiefue ratio of about 12:1 rather than the theorsical ‘option af 15:1 AA very rich aifuel mixture is required for cold stating because a co engin reduces vaporization and ‘causes fuel condensation on the intake ports and cylinder wal, BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CARBLRETOR OPERATION BASIC PRINCIPLES OF CARBURETOR OPERATION (continued) Some carburetor madels have a fsed venturi built Into the bore as ilustrated in Fig. 2,and other models have a variable venturi area controlled by 4 throttle slide or vicuum piston, but all carburetors make tse ofthe vent effet in one form or another.
