  • It sounds too lean...

  • yea

  • how volatile is the air vapor mixture in cold temperature in case of carburetor back fire?

  • It blows up!

  • OK it runs with no load. BUT If you can't show me you actually driving down the road then you can't say that it really works under a load. The whole principle behind an accelerator pump is to feed liquid gasoline into the engine under a load because it is not feasible to produce enough vapor while under a load to maintain normal RPM.

  • give me a few weeks and i'll see if I can make another video.

  • @ke4uyp If you had to you could place a check valve on the top of the air intake PVC tube that is attached to the top of the bucket then below the check valve you can drill and tap a hole and place a blower which will blow more air through the gasoline thus creating more gas vapor making it possible to drive down the road.

  • Install a vacuum check valve or a spark arrester.

  • @hostdad Thanks for the test data.

  • An air bubler is not a true vapor system and will use just as much gas. It does show that a combustion engine can run off vapor, but this way is hardly efficient.

  • the cold temperature wont help....warm gas will work alot better

  • Have you thought about using an old diesel truck intercooler to condense the vapor before entering the carb?

  • Now that's what I call a man sized Vapor system... lol

  • ditto on the load question... and the air/fuel mix....

    And how many miles per gallon do you actually get on a test that does not move? Lol... sorry... just HAD to toss that out!

  • What is all the white stuff??? are you on the beach???
