**buknoy2002** · April 13th, 2005 06:21 AM

for those with carb engines,

do u notice n parang me mini gas tank in/or beside the carb? yng s kia pride kasi parang one side nya e glass so kita mo kung me laman.

my question is dapat be laman tong gas? if yes how many?

pansin ko kasi pag gabi, when i shut off my engine me laman sya. when i wake up in the morning parang wala na.

baka ito culprit kaya di na ko maka one clik starting pag umaga.

i have just changed my battery and recently had my carbs cleaned.

thanks for your inputs

dapat may laman yan. nandyan din yun floater para ma regulate pasok ng fuel sa carb. sa morning nag evaporate yan kaya walang laman. a few push of the pedal will fill this up. although pag nag bomba ka g nag bomba ito yun napupuno pag sinabing "nalunod ang carb".

eto yung fuel bowl sa Carb, basically sya pumipigl sa pag kalalunod ng carb kasi may "foater" or "plunger" ito parang kumbeta pag na puno na sya mag fluflush sya at ibabalik na sa return ng Fuel pump. Pero di ebak laman nito bat gas

sa pagkakaalam ko meron, kasi pag hilain mo yung accelerator cable maski naka off engine mo may lumalabas sa jet na gas, kasi nga diba yung fuel pump ang humihigop ng Gas mula sa tanke, tas yun pump pinapaikot ng Makina. Kaya maski off ang engine, pag hinila mo yung accelerator cable, may lumalabas parin. Pero wag mo ulit ulitin ang pag hila kasi mauubos ang gas sa bowl, kaya minsan pag tumirik ka dahil nawalan ka ng gas, pag nag karga ka, kailangan muna puniun ang bowl bago mag start.

in short sa pagkakaalam ko meron dapat laman yan. pero baka nga nag evaporate, pero saken parang di naman nag eevaporate. Pwede rin may tulo carburador kaya lagi walang gas hehehhe

in fuel injected cars you regulate the airflow while the computer supplies the needed fuel. mukhang ang "lunod" ay a term of the past for this new generation cars.

akala ko yung bowl ng carb napupuno dahil binobomba ng fuel pump at hindi dahil sa pag bomba ng Gas pedal.

the float sees to it that the bowl is filled with just the right amount of fuel supplied from the fuel line. In some cars may dot/level sa window for you to know if there is overfilling. A stucked float (open) would flood your carb too. Pumping the gas pedal excessively would also flood it as the excess fuel would flow directly down the intake of the carb.

i had a similar symtoms before from our old ride. pag matagal naka park, ang hirap pag istartin nung engine especially sa umaga after an overnight parking. ganun din nangyayari dun sa carb... parang natutuyuan dun sa reservoir nya. pero once na nakatakbo na at pinatay mo yung makina, once click lang start na. wag lang talagang maipark ng more than 6 hours at mahirap na ulit pa-istartin.

you mentioned that you recently had your carb overhauled. better bring your car back to the shop, and advise them of your problem. have the carb re-inspected, yung sa akin ang naging problem eh yung rubber dun sa plunger. matigas na. then, you float, sira na din yung isa sa pinagkakabitan nya sa base so di pantay yung float.
