What are the main components of a carburetor?

• Air filter, fuel pump, ignition coil

• Float chamber, throttle valve, venturi, fuel jets, choke valve.

• Throttle body, intake manifold, spark plugs

• Oil reservoir, radiator, exhaust pipe

How does the fuel-air mixture affect engine performance?

• The fuel-air mixture has no effect on engine performance.

• The fuel-air mixture only affects the engine's appearance.

• The fuel-air mixture directly impacts combustion efficiency, power output, and emissions in an engine.

• A richer fuel-air mixture always increases fuel efficiency.

What is the purpose of tuning a carburetor?

• The purpose of tuning a carburetor is to optimize engine performance and efficiency.

• To change the color of the engine

• To reduce engine noise

• To increase fuel consumption

Name the different types of carburetors commonly used.

• Air Filter

• Carburetor Cleaner

What are the symptoms of a carburetor that is running too rich?

• Smooth engine performance

• Improved fuel economy

• White smoke from the exhaust

• Symptoms of a carburetor running too rich include black smoke from the exhaust, poor fuel economy, rough idling, and difficulty starting the engine.

How can you identify a carburetor that is running too lean?

• Spark plugs show a dark color

• Fuel consumption is significantly lower than normal

• Symptoms include backfiring, overheating, poor acceleration, and spark plugs showing a white color.

• Engine runs smoothly with no issues

What tools are typically used for carburetor tuning?

• Vacuum gauge, tachometer, carburetor tuning kit

• Timing light

• Fuel pressure gauge

• Oxygen sensor

Describe the function of the float in a carburetor.

• The float regulates the fuel level in the carburetor, ensuring a consistent supply of fuel to the engine.

• The float controls the throttle position for acceleration.

• The float increases the air intake in the carburetor.

• The float filters impurities from the fuel before it enters the engine.

What common issues can arise with carburetors?

• Worn tires affecting vehicle handling

• Battery failure causing electrical issues

• Common issues with carburetors include fuel leaks, clogged jets, improper air-fuel mixture, and difficulty starting.

• Overheating due to excessive oil

How often should carburetors be maintained?

• Every year or 500 hours of operation.

• Only when performance issues arise.

• Every month or 50 hours of operation.

• Every 6 months or 100 hours of operation.
