  • The Damn thing's only getting 16 MPG!!!!!what the hell!!!!

  • That seems very similar to the intake system on a type 1 VW 1600.

  • that was the air cooled engine, ya! Iv'e got 2 of those, But I was running the KIA that night, and it's not getting that hot like the bug got ???? half way to the carb it starts to cool, can't pull more vac. it starts to hurt the idle.

see all

  • What if you ran a coper pipe from your radiator around your intake the heat of the radiator would take care of the problem ? Anyways you are a genius !! Great work

  • @indianchief741 hey buddy, do you know how incredibly simple it is to heat the gas before it goes into the carb to completely end these iced carb problems?????

    Merry Christmas

    Live long and prosper

  • way dnt you try adding an extra spark to the exhaust might help heat it up

  • Sty-roids ROFLOMG

  • this guy is a genius. but he sounds like bender off of futurama lol

  • @901Jetta --- There is also other factors that contribute to the 3% figure that's not related to the fuel delivery system. Things like compression ratio, fuel quality, spark quality, etc. Even if the vehicle is a carbed vehicle there is no way that anyone would say a carb is 97% efficient. But what can you do, you can lead an idiot to the truth but you can't make him understand it.

  • @901Jetta --- "The Carburetor is said to be 97% efficient" is so funny, this guy needs to go back to school. The 3% combustion waste figure isn't even related to a carb'ed vehicle, its for a computer controlled fuel injection system. If carbs were that efficient they never would have needed fuel injection. Some people make me laugh so much. ROFLMAO

  • @nsofast --- This is an assumption on your part based on the 3% figure. It's not about the amount of unspent fuel, it's about the conversion of the energy to usable power out in the fuel that is consumed. The TE of the burn is not 97% efficient. Vapor carbs are about getting the fuel to burn faster thereby transferring more of energy to motion, a better TE. A faster burning fuel allows for leaner mixes and is usually cleaner.

  • @901Jetta The page I sent you was only meant to be proof that I did not make up the 97% figure out of thin air.

    If you look under engine loses it says combustion 3%. If the combustion loses are 3 percent then that means the carburetor is said to be 97% efficient. its just a different way of stating the same statistic.hope this helps.
