FUEL SYSTEM
CARBURETOR OPERATION
The automatic enrichener device consists of the PTe heater, the thermo-wax, and the plungerneedleWhen the thermo-wax is cold, the plungerneedle moves upward, and fuel is drawn into the enrichener circuit from the float chamberEnrichener jet meters this fuel, which then flows into fuel pipe and mixes with the air coming from the upper part of the float chamberThe mixture, rich in fuel content, reaches upper part of the fuel pipe and mixes again with air coming through passage extending from main boreThe two successive mixings of fuel with air are such that proper fuelair mixture for starting is produced when the mixture is sprayed out through outlet port into the main boreWhen the engine is cold: The auto-enrichener passage is open when the thermo-wax is at atmospheric temperatureWhen the engine is started: As PTe heater temperature increases, the thermo-wax gradually expands and closes enrichener passage with the needle of the plungerB 1234567
