There is no Oil lubricating your engine at a cold start up, so a rich mixture is used to try eliminating any scouring on your (internal) engine components.
A rich mixture during takeoff provides more fuel to the engine, ensuring ample power output for a quick and efficient climb. The extra fuel also helps cool the engine during the high workload of takeoff.
Poor starting due to over rich mixture (hot engine) Poor starting due to weak mixture (cold engine) Cooling fan(s) coming on when the engine is cold Sensor can be checked using an ohm meter if you have the data.
Yes
12:1 for rich mixture and it is 15:1 for lean mixture
An engine runs by the combustion of a mixture of oxygen and gasoline. If this mix has too much oxygen, it is said to run lean. When the mixture has too much gasoline in relation to oxygen, it is running rich.
Choke is a mode of air/fuel mixing that causes a rich mixture (meaning a lot of fuel). This is often used upon starting the engine. it is applied manually in older cars, but newer cars have an ECM to control such functions.
Improper timing, mixture is rich, engine wear.
Black smoke indicates a rich fuel mixture.
Fuel/air mixture too rich, engine misfire, or damage.
A leaner fuel mixture burns hotter than a rich mixture. so a leaner mixture will be more prone to detonation than a richer mixture.
Older (pre computer) cars have a mechanical choke to richen the mixture for cold starting. Cold engines need a fuel rich mixture. Later model cars do this by shooting addition fuel into the engine on a cold start. That signal is sent electronically to the injectors by the computer.
