carburation

Disadvantages of Carburator

disadvantages:

  • fuel metering is based on pressure differential and the fuel flow capacity of a duct. This is not a very precise means of metering, so the carburetor will almost never provide the best fuel ratio, so fuel consumption will be higher.
  • Because of the lack of sophistication in fuel metering, there??s little room for adaptation in face of changing conditions like high altitude places, changes in air temperature/density, abrupt acceleration, etc.
  • Fuel atomization may not be so good at times.
  • It??s difficult to use with forced induction, because with turbos and superchargers the intake is pressurized and can ??fool? the carburetor.
