Carburetors
A carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes air with fuel for an internal combustion engine. The carburetor operates using Bernoulli’s principle: the faster the air moves, the higher its dynamic pressure and the lower its static pressure.

What lines go where on a Quadrajet carburetor?
The vaccum lines go to EGR valve, PCV valve and vaccum advance on distributor. there may be more but the question is pretty vague so all i can say is go to google or yahoo and type in the search box "vaccum line routing for quadrajet and year, make model of your car".

How do you drain the carburetor on a Honda 100 dirt bike?
Hello, Jamison here,
There is a screw in the bottom of the bowl, it will be at the very bottom on the side, it will take A Philips head driver, The best thing to do is, leave gas on, remove screw, then turn gas off, let it drain completely empty, then turn gas on again, then turn gas off, let it drain again, NOW reinstall screw,,,,,,,,, It will not hurt to allow the gas to run down on the engine,, BUT! You need to allow it to dry before starting the bike.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Good luck, Jamison
Where is idle screw on impco model e?
A model E converter does not have an idle screw. Your idle adjustment would be on your Mixer, equivalent of the carburetor.
What do you use to clean a carburetor?
To clean the carb while on the vehicle you can use carb and choke spray cleaners that you can purchase at any auto parts store. Make sure to take the air breather assembly off first. And follow the directions on the back of the can. If your doing a rebuild you can use gasoline, kerosene, or a cleaning solution found at your local parts store.
There are two things that come to mind. First I would check the float, make sure thatit is adjusted to the correct height. On most small engine carbs, it will beparalell to the carburetor casting when held upside down. The small tang that rests on top of the needle valve can be bent to make this adjustment. Also check that the float is serviceable. If it has a hole in it, (plastic), or is saturated, (cork), it will not float and shut off theincoming fuel. Next, make sure the fuel supply is not contaminated with water or debris. Drain out a small amount of fuel into a clear glass jar and let it sit for about 5 minuets. Any water or trash present will separate out and settle on the bottom of the jar. If found to be contaminated, drain out tank and clean out with fresh, clean fuel, or perhaps some spray type carb cleaner. Also, be sure to flush out any fuel supply lines.
What would cause code P1414 on a 1998 Taurus 3.4 with 195k kilometers?
I have a 1997 Ford Taurus G model and I got my check engine light code and it was in fact p1414 and this is what it reads Definition - Secondary air injection system monitor circuit hihg Explanation - ECM Commanded the air pump off yet the system still detects air flow Probable Causes 1. Defective Air Pump Relay 2. Short Circuit Condition 3. Damaged Air Pump System hope this helps.. The guy at autozone just reset my computer, and its been off but we will see if it comes back on.

Simply a device to prevent the throttle from moving more than a pre-determined amount.
On "butterfly" throttle plate equiped engines this can be to stop the throttle plate from moving past the ideal highest flow point. If it moves past this point the air flow can hold the throttle open.
In other cases a throttle stop can be used to limit the amount of power the engine can produce by limiting how much throttle can be employed. Common an small beginer quads and motorcycles so daddy can keep the speed down to a non-fatal level.
What could cause a carborated 318 engine to starve for fuel?
Pluged fuel Filter, line. Needle valve could be stuck. pluged up jets.
How do pump diaphragm carburetors work?
The diaphragm carburetor is found on many small engines. These engines power everything ranging from lawn equipment, generators, and even RC aircraft.
Unlike a conventional "float" style carburetor the diaphragm carburetor will operate regardless of its orientation, even upside down!
The internal workings of a diaphragm carburetor are simple in design, but complicated in explanation and consequently lengthy to discuss.
How do you adjust a 2 barrel ford 302 carburetor?
If you have a carburetor, there is a crew on the driver side behind the throttle cable it usually has a spring on it if you turn it to the right it idles up left it idles down
If its a fuel injected motor idle is handled by the computer. There usually is a "base idle speed" around 800-1000 RPM. This normally doesn't need to be adjusted.
Have a look for carbon build up on the butterfly as well, this will influence idle too.
1983 suzuki GS750 ED Why no fuel flow from carburetor to engine?
Probably a bad fuel petcock on the bottom of the tank. It is vacuum operated so it will not flow fuel unless the engine is running. (Safety feature) My older '79 GS has a "prime" setting on the petcock that allows the fuel to bypass the vacuum shutoff and run straight into the carbs (thus filling the floatbowls should the engine not be able to start due to lack of fuel in the carbs.) Either you have a bad petcock or you are checking it in the "ON" position. If you have "prime" it should flow fuel without a problem. If not there may be dirt in the petcock or other internal problems. Hope this helps. Mark in NE Indiana. _____ I just fixed my 1983 GS750E which had a fuel flow issue with the petcock. After disassembly of the petcock it was found that the fuel valve o-ring would tack itself to the sealing surface, thus, not allowing fuel to flow. See this forum posting for a how to fix: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=141244

What courses slight knocking noise of 2.3 litter engine when accelerating at a full load operating?
knock sensor is going bad or is bad
What size carburetor for a 350 engine?
first off it depends if you have a squre bore or a spread bore (figure that out first) then the size is between 600-650 try not to go higher than a 700 because then you will most likely get vacum leaks and the air intake for it will be crap. hope this helps!!!!
So, if your getting gas - then it has to be spark or compression....put the 3 together and laws of science say you get a bang!
Can the carburetor be a cause of engine stalling?
Yes it could if you in fact have a carburetor. Carburetors were fazed out during the 1980's.
Should gas be coming out of mt vent tube on the carburetor?
No, get the floats re-adjusted in the carb.
How can you tell if a catalytic converter is bad?
The only real way is to take it to a garage and get them to check the exhaust emissions. This only takes about 5 minutes and my local garage didn't charge me for this when I did this.
If the emissions are NOT OK, then this could point to problems with the fuel injection system as well. If the emissions are fine, then so is everything else.
How do you change the gas line that runs from the tank to the back in a 1973 beetle?
Now that is a bear! The fuel line goes through the center tunnel of the floor pan and the cover is welded on. To remove that cover affects the alinement and squareness of the whole car. It can only be removed by drilling out the spotwelds to remove and has to be rewelded to install. If you must replace the fuel line... Drill a hole in the front firewall to the right of the tunnel as low as you can get it through both pieces of sheet metal. Install a new fuel line to run to the engine on floor between the passenger seat and the tunnel hump. There should be a hole under the rear seat to run it through. BE CAREFULL Of THE BATTERY if you are not using a battery box to hold it. BE AWARE IF THERE IS A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE, the gas will gravity feed into the passenger compartment with this arrangement!!!
