Face it, from a fundamental standpoint, the
carburetor on your Cessna is hardly much different than the one you maybe had on your small-block Chevy engine.
Another major difference between
carburetors and fuel injection systems is their susceptibility to icing.
I opened the hood and, to my horror, saw that the
carburetor was spewing gas.
Asbestos removal is expected to begin within weeks on the Carter
Carburetor site in north St.
Founded in 1950 and headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, Walbro Engine Management is the world's largest manufacturer of
carburetors and a major manufacturer of ignition systems, fuel injection and air/fuel management components, and fuel storage and delivery components for engines targeted at outdoor power equipment, marine, recreational and two-wheel applications.
If it's flooding, you'll see fuel come out the vents atop the
carburetors."
The study, which included 1,500 hours of testing, found that fuel lines did not leak,
carburetors did not disintegrate and fuel pumps did not fail with E10 (10 percent ethanol fuels).
If so, your problem is most likely a corroded or gummed-up
carburetor. Small-engine repair shops earn about 50 percent of their revenue by cleaning or replacing
carburetors that are sidelined by old gas.
Carburetors are in general defined as devices where a flow induced pressure drop forces a fuel flow into the air stream [1].
Some folks use a degreasing, all-purpose cleaner called Simple Green to clean up their
carburetors. Although Simple Green is one of my favorites for getting grease and oil out of my shirts and jeans, I doubt it would work well for removing the varnish deposits associated with old gasoline unless you add heat.
