Judging Air/Fuel Mixture
For proper carburetor tuning, it is necessary to
know how to judge the air/fuel mixture made in the
carburetor; whether too rich, too lean or properly
mixed. Given below are the symptoms observed
when the engine is not supplied with the proper
air/fuel mixture ratio from the carburetor. Check
each item as reference for judging the air/fuel mix-
ture condition.
When air/fuel mixture is too rich
1) The engine noise is dull and intermittent.
2) The engine condition becomes worse when the
choke is applied.

warmed up.

cleaner is removed.
5) The spark plug is fouled with carbon (wet and
oily).
6) The exhaust gas produces heavy smoke.
When air/fuel mixture is too lean
1) The engine overheats.
2) The engine condition improves when the choke
is applied.
3) Acceleration is poor.
4) The spark plug is burned white.
5) The speed of the engine fluctuates and lack of
power is noticed.
