Fundamental Carburetion

From the Gas Tank to the Combustion Chamber

This book will help collectible car owners who work on their cars as well as restorers, mechanics and anyone interested in understanding how carburetors work and, as importantly, why they work the way they do. Since carburetors are a key part of engine control systems, ignition timing, intake manifold designs, air/fuel ratios, fuel properties and fuel delivery evolution are also covered along with a troubleshooting guide.

Did you ever wonder:

- How does gas tank location affect carburetor design?

- How does intake manifold design affect carburetor calibration?

- How do gasoline specifications affect carburetor calibration?

- Why does the spark timing vary with carburetor calibration?

- Why are both vacuum and mechanical spark advance needed?

- Why do carburetors need accelerator pumps and cold enrichment?

- How are carburetor designs impacted by exhaust emission regulations?

- Does a charcoal canister adsorb or absorb gasoline vapors? (Hint – one involves a phase change.)

The answers to the above are all in this book with numerous analogies, photos and illustrations.
