The Kawasaki KSR110 is a road-legal miniature motorcycle manufactured in Southeast Asia by Kawasaki. [1] [2] Designed after the widely popular KLX/KX range of dirt bikes, the KSR was primarily targeted for younger riders who needs a practical, yet unique everyday motorcycle but with capabilities similar to that of more conventional motorcycles and scooters.
The Kawasaki KLX250S is a dual-purpose motorcycle. In 2009, Kawasaki released their supermoto inspired KLX 250SF to the public. It is a relatively lightweight dual sport which can be used both on and off-road.
In SU and other (e.g. Zenith-Stromberg) variable jet carburetors, it was mainly controlled by varying the jet size. The orientation of the carburetor is a design consideration but does not significantly alter the working principles. Older engines used updraft carburetors, where the air enters from below the carburetor and exits through the top.
Most choke valves in engines are butterfly valves mounted upstream of the carburetor jet to produce a higher partial vacuum, which increases the fuel draw. [ 1 ] In heavy industrial or fluid engineering contexts, including oil and gas production, a choke valve or choke is a particular design of valve with a solid cylinder placed inside another ...
In road vehicles, carburetor icing can occasionally be a nuisance, although some engine designs are more susceptible to it than others. The inlet manifold and parts of the carburetor often have warm water from the cooling system or exhaust gas circulating through them to combat this problem.
The ADI (anti-detonant injection) system, an adjunct to the pressure carburetor found on large military piston engines, consists of a supply tank for the ADI liquid (a mixture of 50% methanol, 49% water and 1% oil), a pressure pump, a pressure regulator, a spray nozzle, and a control diaphragm that moves the carburetor enrichment valve closed ...
The Yamaha XS Eleven motorcycle, also called XS 1100 and XS 1.1, is a Japanese standard produced from late 1977 (MY1978) to 1983, powered by an air-cooled 1,101 cc (67.2 cu in) 4-stroke, DOHC inline four-cylinder engine mounted transversely in a duplex cradle frame with swingarm rear suspension, shaft drive, and telescopic forks.
Carter adapted carburetors for Willys Jeep four-cylinder engines, waterproofing them for water crossings and making it possible to keep the engine going even on a steep incline (the YS carburetor). Carter also produced the first American four-barrel carburetor, used for Buick’s 1952 straight-eight, and followed by the WCFB on the 1955 ...
