Briggs Stratton Carburetors
Briggs & Stratton is one of the world’s biggest
carburetor manufacturers. Carburetors are an essential component for an
internal combustion engine. Carburetors supply the engine with premixed fuel
and air in a predetermined proportion. Carburetors were used in all internal
combustions of big and small vehicles and those equipment which used the
internal combustion engines. However with the advent of new technology the
bigger engines have moved over to direct fuel injection technology. On the
other hand the fuel injection technology go available for the smaller engines
also, has not been adopted fully as it is quite expensive for a small engine to
adopt the technology. Smaller engines still prefer the use of carburetors for
feeding the fuel air mixture to the engine.
The chief function of any carburetor is to mix fuel with air in a predetermined formula. The ration of fuel to air needs to be adjusted mechanically by trial and error. This optimum mixture enables the engine to work at optimum level, increases fuel efficiency and reduces engine emissions. Carburetors use a whole lot of part which work in tandem like a clockwork to deliver optimal performance. Briggs & Stratton recommends that carburetors of your mowers and other equipment should be serviced and tuned properly at the beginning of spring so that you have a trouble free season of lawn mowing. Proper tuning not only ensures a single attempt start but also higher fuel efficiency for all engines.
There are a whole lot of carburetor
types for small sized engines. The are float type of one piece and two piece
variety and there are the suction type which have built in fuel pumps. The
complexity of the modern carburetor has made it competitive to the fuel
injection technology at a much lower price. Present day carburetors meet all
the necessary emission and pollution control standards.
