This video is super awesome, finally made an account + logged into desktop to say so. (!)
I studied eng, work as a swe, and also do-my-own engine work. Have never worked on a carb'd automotive vehicle, just some smaller marine 4 stroke outboards.
I've always thought, when cleaning a carb., "I know what it does but not how it is done."
This video makes it crystal clear - even seeing the float oscillating to the strokes.. - is so so cool.
There's even some solid music played during the slo-mo bits.
Thanks for posting and cheers to the folks who made the video
- sand500 5y agoWhat I want to know is how does one engineer a carburetor without seeing it work in real life like this vid? I don't think they had fancy fluid sims when they we're designing them. Like even slight changes in how the fuel vaporizes and mixes could be huge for efficiency.
- culopatin 5y agoIt was probably achieved through time. This is the most basic carburetor you can make, but one can quickly come up with improvements just by watching the video. I’m sure lots of ideas failed or were not possible back in the day
- rrggnnlldd 5y agoAt one point in the video someone says something like, "nobody really 100% knows how a carburetor works, right?", which was funny.
