Carburetor Video

[Alpinestarhero]

Found this on youtube, a video about how carb's work. I found it informative and interesting

I thought this may apply to us curvy owners

Enjoy :D

Between this and a careful look at a bike carb you could get a half decent working knowledge.

CV type carb on the SV works pretty similar to the variable type in the vid

I noticed some things on the carb towards the end of the video that I'd seen on the SV carbs. It was also interesting learning exactly how the choke works

[yorkie_chris]

It's only how that particular sort works.

SV choke is an air bypass that picks up fuel from a separate jet. Don't believe everything you read/see/watch until you've studied a part yourself in detail.

I thought I understood forks until I took some apart.

I see. It still gives a sort of general kind of idea, at elast I can visualise in my mind the principle now

Ever used one of those vacuum filtering rigs that you put tap water through?

yes...they are useless for creating a decent enough vacum to do serious filtration :lol:

thanks for the link though :thumleft:
