Aircraft general knowledge
It also allows you to prime the engine before starting by quickly pressing the
throttle.
At slow speeds the acceleration pump does not work and that is how it should
be!
We could wish for a little extra fuel for cooling at high output…
At engine outputs of 60 – 70% and above we wish, for cooling reasons, to supply
the engine with an extra rich petrol mixture.
• A “full power valve”
solves this small
problem.
It is now a whole fountain
of fuel.
When flying at altitudes
with less air, the amount of fuel must also be regulated down. We must also be
able to stop the engine by shutting off the petrol.
More must be fitted!
• We fit a manual
mixture valve with
an operating
handle.
This controls the
petrol supply, and
when retracted it
completely shuts
off the fuel.
