Carburetor fuel mixture adjustment assembly

摘要

A carburetor fuel mixture adjustment assembly including a threaded cylindrical needle valve receptacle formed in a carburetor main body and intersecting a fuel passage. A needle valve body is threaded into the needle valve receptacle and includes a needle that extends into an axially-aligned needle seat orifice portion of the fuel passage. The needle is axially movable within the needle seat orifice by rotation of the needle valve body to control how much of the orifice is open to fuel flow. A valve spring disposed between a head of the needle valve body and the carburetor main body biases the head away from the carburetor main body. A needle stabilizer engages and cooperates with the valve spring in laterally biasing the needle into one position relative to the needle seat orifice. The lateral bias assures constant fuel flow through the orifice by resisting needle movement.
