THE HEART OF IT ALL( CARBURETOR )

Hi eveiryone, today i'll be sharing with us "WHAT A CABURETOR IS" And "HOW IT WORKS"

A carburetor (American and Canadian spelling), carburator, carburettor, or carburetter (Commonwealth spelling) is a device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine. It is sometimes colloquially shortened to carb in North America or carby in Australia.[1] To carburate or carburet (and thus carburation or carburetion, respectively) is to blend the air and fuel or to equip (an engine) with a carburetor for that purpose.
Carburetors have largely been supplanted in the automotive and, to a lesser extent, aviation industries by fuel injection.
 

Etymology

The word carburetor comes from the French carbure meaning "carbide".[2] Carburer means to combine with carbon (compare also carburizing). In fuel chemistry, the term has the more specific meaning of increasing the carbon (and therefore energy) content of a fluid by mixing it with a volatile hydrocarbon.

HOW TO SERVICE YOUR SMALL GENERATOR CARBURETOR

HOW TO SERVICE YOUR CARBURETOR!!!   Local generator repairers get about 60% of their income frrom just changing or servicing the carburetor. This DIY will not only save you money but also workshop labour. Now i'm guessing you've tried to srart your generator at this point and it's not responding or it shoots and goes back off, now go to the steps below......... STEP 1: DISMANTLING THE CARBURETOR firstly loosen the tank so you'll get enough space. then loosen the cover covering the carburetor(for small gens). Then you get the carburetor's bolts, loosen them also, move the board forwad so you can get to your carburetor. Unlock the throttle cable from the carburetor linkage. 2: Place it in a container to catch the fuel coming out, open the carburetor from bottom(you'll see a short bolt) loosen the bolt & remove the bowl. check for corrosion if there's corrosion you'll probably be needing a sandpaper to scratch of the corrosion and make the bowl...

"HOW TO REMOVE CARBON PILE UPS FROM EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER"

Exhaust port is a passage through which the burnt mixture is passed out from the combustion chamber. it is located differently in different engine cyles. In a two stroke generator it is underneath the engine block while in a four stroke generator it is located on the left hand part of the cylinder. The exhaust muffler is connected to the port to reduce the sound from the generator and also to expel the harmful gas coming out from the engine. Mostly in two stroke engines; carbon usually piles up both at the exhaust port and inside the muffler thereby causing low RPM. In power generators this brings about low current. Removing carbon deposits is easy with this easy to follow steps: 1) loosen the exhaust from the exhaust port 2) get a long screw driver and drive it into the exhaust port, clean all carbon deposits from the port 3) use the screw driver to also clean the muffler through the hole..i usually pour in a little fuel in my muffler and light it up so it could dry up the carbon...

Don't be scared of failure

HI everyone, before we go back to the CARBURETOR i'd like to share with us something very important.  You might have tried or still trying some of these few steps on how to get your generator working but might have failed; OR you are learning basic studies of engineering through my blog & ain't seeing many successes.  A great woman once said "every great success has struggled with failure-everyone of them!!!!"Emma bombeck.  Everybody fails, the winners are just the ones that keep getting back up again. You are not a loser; really, the only way to be a loser is to fail & not look beyond it, or fail and let it define you as a failure.  Thomas Edison (INVENTOR OF THE INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULB) said, "many of life's failure are just people who did not realize how close they were to succes when they gave up".  Failure is like a fertilizer; it is the stuff success grows in. Before Thomas Edison gave the world incandescent light, he conducted ...
