See-through carburetor video
I watched this all the way. Pretty cool. I learned some things.

Cool. I have certainly fought with a few carbs over my lifetime.

What is really interesting, at least to me, is how much fuel a '65 Big Box Chevy FI unit dumps out the injectors. When fooling around with one a long time ago it was amazing how much fuel came out just at an idle speed.
This is a pretty cool video. |
Very cool. IMHO this is the kind of stuff missing from high school. Even though I went to an academic high school not a trade school and we certainly didn't have hi speed cameras I had access to this type of instruction. It was only 101 stuff but mechanics, wood working, and drafting were all a part of my 2ndary education.

Here is a similar cool video .

^^^for a mechanical engineer he didn’t seem super educated. Agreed.

It is astonishing to me that carburetors are becoming (or have become?) a lost art. They are simply intuitive to me. I have used them and worked on them and have been forced to understand them on everything from reed valve Cox .049 model airplane glow engines to two stroke and four stroke motorcycle engines to big block MOPAR drag engines to VW Beetle engines to lawnmower engines to Porsche engines to radial aircraft engines to... well, "everything" internal combustion. The mere notion that an entire generation (or two or three) of "gearheads" have come up behind me without this intuition is quite unbelievable to me. Yet I'm reminded, quite often, that that is, indeed, the case. Wow...

Great video. Thanks
