    Carburetor Types

    Uploaded by

    HAMZA YOUSAF
    This document discusses different types of carburetors used in small engines, including natural/side draft, updraft, and downdraft carburetors. The natural draft carburetor is used when space is limited, allowing horizontal air flow. The updraft carburetor is placed low and uses gravity-fed fuel, forcing the air-fuel mixture upward. The downdraft carburetor operates at lower velocities and pressures, using gravity to assist air-fuel flow into the cylinder. Carburetors can also be float-type, using a float to maintain a constant fuel level, or diaphragm-type, pulsating a diaphragm to pump fuel using pressure differences.

    Types of Carburetors

     Natural or side draft


     Updraft
     Downdraft
    Natural Draft Carburetor
     This carburetor is
    used where there
    is little space on
    top of the engine.
    The air horizontally
    into the manifold.
    Updraft Carburetors
     This type is placed
    low on the engine
    and use a gravity
    fed-fuel supply. In
    other words, the
    tank is above the
    carburetor and the
    fuel falls to it.
    Updraft Carburetors
     Even this carburetor uses gravity to receive
    the fuel from the tank, the air-fuel mixture
    must be forced upward into the engine.
    Downdraft Carburetors
     This carburetor
    operates with
    lower air velocities
    and larger
    passages. This is
    because gravity
    assists the air-fuel
    mixture flow to the
    cylinder.
    Down-draft Carburetors
     The downdraft
    carburetor can
    provide large
    volumes of fuel
    when needed for
    high speed and
    high power output.
    Float-Type Carburetor
     A Float is a small
    sealed vessel made
    of brass or plastic.
    It maintains a
    constant level of
    fuel in the float
    bowl.
    Float-Type Carburetors
     The float works
    much like one in a
    watering system,
    opening and
    closing a needle
    valve as the float
    lowers or raises.
    The Choke
     The choke is a round disc mounted on
    a shaft located at the intake end of
    the carburetor.
    The Choke
     Since cold fuel is
    hard to vaporize,
    the choke is used
    during cold engine
    starts to provide a
    rich mixture to the
    carburetor in order
    to get the engine
    started.
    The Throttle
     The throttle is a
    round disc
    mounted on a shaft
    beyond the main
    fuel nozzle in the
    carburetor.
    The Throttle
     It regulates the
    amount of air-fuel
    mixture entering
    the cylinder.
    Load Adjustment
     The amount of fuel
    entering the main
    discharge nozzle is
    sometimes
    regulated by a load
    adjusting needle.
    Load Adjustment
     Many carburetors
    today have a fixed
    jet or orifice which
    is preset to allow
    the proper amount
    of flow. These
    carburetors are
    non-adjustable.
    The Primer
     Many small engines have hand operated
    plunger called a primer. When depressed it
    forces additional fuel through the main
    nozzle prior to starting a cold engine.
    Diaphragm Carburetors
     This type does not have a float,
    rather the difference between
    atmospheric pressure and the
    vacuum created in the engine
    pulsates a flexible diaphragm.
    Diaphragm Carburetors
     The pulsation of
    the diaphragm
    takes place on
    every intake and
    compression
    stroke.
    Throttle Controls
     A basic manual
    throttle control
    consists of either
    mechanical linkage
    or flexible cable.
    Throttle Controls
     This linkage
    manually opens
    and closes the
    throttle valve to
    obtain the desired
    engine speed.
    Summary
     Small engines have one of the
    following types of carburetors:
     Natural or side draft
     Updraft
     Downdraft
    Summary
     The natural or side
    draft carburetor is
    used when there is
    little space on top
    of the engine. The
    air flows
    horizontally into
    the manifold.
    Summary
     The updraft
    carburetor is place
    low on the engine
    and uses a gravity
    fed fuel supply.
     The air-fuel
    mixture is forced
    upward into the
    engine.
    Summary
     The downdraft
    carburetor
    operates with
    lower air velocities
    and larger
    passages.
     It provides larger
    volumes of fuel
    when needed.
    Summary
     Some carburetors are either float
    type or diaphragm carburetors.
     The float type uses a float to maintain
    a constant level of fuel in the fuel
    bowl
     The diaphragm carburetor uses
    differences in atmospheric pressure
    and vacuum pressure to pulsate a
    diaphragm to pump fuel.
