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

LOL.

Thanks for posting. Reminds me of an old car a friend had with levers for choke and spark advance and a throttle. Ford Model T or A, I don't remember which.

Great video. Thanks for posting this.

My mechanical skills are limited to if we’ve got spark & fuel we should have magic.

Nice to see the magic actually happening.


In the old days runnin snowmachines in the mountains vs here in the flatlands meant rejetting for appropriate altitude.

Had a triple carbed sled that kinda sucked doing so, no longer have it.

This is a great video.

I guess I'm foggy on the whole vacuum thing. Was George Dyson involved?

Best part is he still replies to his dad with Yes Sir and No Sir.

Who Cares. I have had to many dealing with carburetors in my youth. Hope to never ever own a vehicle with one again.

Technical terms: turny-thing and floppy-do

The young engineer was surprised that an eight cylinder engine could be run with one carburetor. I'm pretty sure fuel injection has been the standard over the span of his life.

OTOH I was learning about small engine carbs from my father when I was in grade school a long time ago. By the time I was in middle school he had me adjusting the valve lash on the Volkswagen we had.

I feel old now.

Got a few carbs here, just none on a vehicle, including the 26 yo Taco. Taco also has a mexican transamission.

Some kind of a Stick -> not sure tho

Thx Bruinruin !

Teaching people how an engine works is fun - I've taught a bunch .

Thanks. It was a model T that he had.

Thanks for the vid. Almost didn't watch it as I understand them, but after I started watching I couldn't look away.

Thanks again!



I've been told that one of the first sidedraft carbs was actually a soup can that was drip fed fuel, no float or bowl.

It can also be run with a single fuel injector. My old VW had CIS(continuous injection system) with one main injector. Electronic fuel injection came out some years later.

That was very enjoyable, thanks. Like gunzo, I “know” how they work. But to see that in slow motion is fascinating. Also enjoyed the joy between the father and son.

That was a.cool video. Neat to see it all in slow motion

I have a pair of Strombergs on a twin carb intake for a Flathead Ford.

Wonder if the young engineer has ever heard the term Flathead?

Who's brains got splattered on the ceiling?

LMAO!

Very informative post. Thanks
