Carburetors
A carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes air with fuel for an internal combustion engine. The carburetor operates using Bernoulli’s principle: the faster the air moves, the higher its dynamic pressure and the lower its static pressure.

What are fuel metering rods in cars?
You must be talking about a CARBURETOR. They are called metering rods. They control how much fuel flows through the jets in the carburetor as you push the gas pedal. They can make a engine run lean or rich, by changing the air/fuel ratio.
What stops water going into gas syringe?
A one-way valve or check valve at the entrance of the gas syringe prevents water from entering the syringe. This valve allows gas to pass through but blocks the passage of liquids like water.
A flame is caused by the chemical reaction between a fuel source, heat, and oxygen. When these components come together in the right proportions, the fuel breaks down into combustible gases that produce light and heat, creating a flame.
What causes flames to come from carburetor?
Flames coming from a carburetor are typically caused by a backfire, which occurs when unburnt fuel in the exhaust system ignites. This can happen due to issues such as a rich air-fuel mixture, faulty ignition timing, or a clogged exhaust system. It is important to address the root cause of the backfire to prevent potential damage to the engine.
How do you get to the carburetor on Yamaha v star classic 650?
Your carb is underneath the gas tank. A clymer manual is a good place to start in finding out how to perform maintenance on your bike
How do you adjust the carb on a 1979 Chevy Cheyenne 10 V8 with a 350?
4 barell rochesters used 2 adjustment screws. With the engine off adjust the screws fully inward then turn them out 2 full revolutions. Start the engine and continue turing each screw by a quarter turn in sync with each other until the idle seems correct. If you are advanced enough you can also use a vacuum gauge attached to a manifold vacuum source and watch the vacuum readings while turing the screws. If the vacuum drops too much then you leaned it out too much and you need to go back a quarter turn or until suitable. Hope this helped.
The real answer: First the assumptions. I assume that it is in fact adjustable because you give no date of the carb. If the carb pre-dates 1972 then it is. And I assume the intake manifold is a dual plane intake. And I assume that the car starts and runs but needs the A/F ratio tweaked. If it doesn't start, then set the screws at a base setting of two turns "out". A dual plane intake separates totally the intake runners between cylinder 1,3,5,7 and 2,4,6,8. Therefore 1/2 of the intake manifold serves fuel to the right bank and and the other half to the left bank. Therefore, the adjustment screws need not and should not be turned "in sync". If using a vacuum gauge as the writer above suggests, turn each screw independently for the highest vacuum. Then back-off screw 1/4 turn.
If using a tachometer, the suggested way. Then turn one screw clock-wise for highest RPM (rich condition) and then turn the screw counter-clockwise (lean condition) until engine just stumbles; turn screw clockwise 1/4 turn. Do the same for the other adjustment screw.
P.S. The previous writer is an idiot.

How do you clean a Yamaha Big Bear carburetor?
Actually somewhat simple. You need to remove it from the machine. To do this, remove the nuts attaching it to the head. I remove the slider cable by removing the 3 screws at the top. Next, remove the second throttle cable by taking off the plastic plate on the side and disconnecting the cable on the inside.
I placed it on some clean cotton cloths and removed the bowl, jets, choke plunger, diaphragm and ran choke cleaner through it all. I would recommend that you replace the float, diaphragm, and rubber gaskets. Check the slider for wear and replace this if it is worn.
How do you adjust carb on 50cc moped?
there should be 2 screws on the carb one with a spring which is the idle screw turn it all the way in and start by screwing it out 2 and 1/2 spins the other screw is your fuel screw start 1 and 1/2 screws out play with them you will figure it out quite fast
How do you assemble the carburetor on a Mitsubishi Galant?
the carberator rebuild kit comes with rebuild instructions and requires an understanding of how a carb works.
How do you adjust fuel and air on 2 barrel rochester carb?

Turn Fuel mixture CCW 3 turns then stop. Do the same on passengers side.
Start engine Turn mixture screw as before CW until Engine Starts to stumbel then back out 1/4 turn. Do the same on other side. set RPMS ur good 2 go
Where is the best place to get a rebuild kit for a 1968 350 engine?
Most of the online retailers such as Summit, Jeg's, and others are pretty competitive with regards to price, quality, and service.
clean the jets make sure there is a clean hole that goes all the way through them. be sure that gas is getting to the carb
This carb requires two good O rings on the fuel emulsion tube internally be in very good shape for the primer to work. Also needed is a good fuel bowl gasket seal and of course primer bulb with no leaks or tears. Replace any of these defective rubber parts as needed and it should start and run like new.
the main jet has a small hole in the side. make sure this is clean, use a small pc of wire and some carb cleaner, also has a jet in the middle, make sure all is clean, there is a pilot jet on the side, usually covered with a black plastic cover, remove the jet with a small flat blade screwdriver, clean that out with a small wire. get a tecumseh rebuild kit, replace the needle and seat, adjust the float. you can use compressed air to blow out all the holes, run some carb cleaner through all the jets you see. put it all back together and it should fire right up with a couple of pumps of the primer.
Where does the vacuum lines go on a 1992 dodge datoka on the carburetor?
V-8 really doesn't have a carb. That is the air induction system. The underhood decal is the finest. Hopefully it is still there. Otherwise there can be some differences. There are quite a few hoses. Without the under hood perhaps a Mitchell Manual. Or call the friendly folks at Dodge.
