Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Slo-mo video of transparent carburetor.

I'm sure lots of guys here know how a carburetor works. Many of you probably do a lot of your own wrenching on carbs and engines, like I do, but even knowing what I already know about them, I still found the slow motion shots fairly fascinating. It's a bit long, but worth it, IMO.

The slow mo shots were awesome.

It looks like a few paint cans were murdered in that barn......

Not quite like I imagined, thanks for putting that up.

That was a great video. Thanks for posting.

Somebody posted that yesterday. I watched it while I should have been. Working, then shared with all my gear head friends.

good video...
he certianly is an apple-cheeked little engineer though...

I am still floored by the statement that it took a committee meeting to figure out how to 3D-print a simplified carburetor...
that is why things cost so much these days..
unproductive meetings...

who was the CEO who mandated that all meetings be conducted with everyone standing, so they didn't last for hours?

Whats a carburetor?

That’s a really cool video.
Reminds me of myself and my dad.

Great video.

All the thousands of man-hours it took to develop and tweak carburetor technology in the first place, let alone the rest of the motor.

I thought it was a little amusing that while he, the young mechanical engineer, thought he knew how a carburetor works, it was his hands-on Dad who really schooled him, not the college he went to.

Really neat. Like his videos and his approach to learning.

I was waiting for a backfire, especially with all that vapor sitting in the intake.

And what's a manual transmission?

Now that was fascinating...... Thanks for posting it. Gee..... I remember carburetors; I must be getting old. Friend of mine that owns his own auto repair place say that if you need carburetor work done, you had better find a mechanic with gray hair.

Thank you, I emailed that to my daughter under the heading of "Today's essential boy lesson"...I also learnt more than I knew.

"run it wide open, we got a fire extinguisher".....

Carburetor-517 was probably an elective. He likely took Power Steering Pumps-531 or Spark Plugs-542 instead.

Young guy acted as though he'd never saw a float in a carb or a toilet tank. I've set a couple on fire so I'm not to smart. Had a distributor 180° out & it backfired while cranking & flooding resulting in fire on a brand new carb. Another time was fooling with jets on a Holley & failed to get fuel tube between front & back bowls seated. Squirted gas on distributor & burned up another one.

It was a Holley, you didn't lose much.

That device you will need in the future.
