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 ...
The YZ125 has a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) reed valve-inducted two-stroke engine. It was air cooled from 1974 to 1980, and liquid cooled since 1981. It has a Mikuni 38 mm TMX series carburetor. [6] The engine produces 35 hp (26 kW). [1] The YZ125 has been built with five- or six-speed manual sequential gearbox depending on model year.
YDS-3 (1964) 246 cc, two-stroke, parallel-twin, it used the world's first oil injection lubrication system in a 2-stroke engine. [2] DT-1 (1968) Yamaha's first true off-road motorcycle. [1] XS-1 (1970) Yamaha's first four-stroke engine motorcycle (650 cc twin). [3] YZ Monocross (1975) First production motocross bike with a single rear shock. [3]
The floatless pressure carburetor was the progenitor of today's single-port fuel injection, and was a big step forward in fuel delivery technology. It could be looked upon as the mechanical counterpart of today's electronic fuel control system. These floatless pressure carburetors are the topic of this article. [2]
A carburetor heat system is often used to prevent icing. [35] This system consists of a secondary air intake which passes around the exhaust, in order to heat the air before it enters the carburetor. Typically, the system is operated by the pilot manually switching the intake air to travel via the heated intake path as required.
Yamaha also designed a new exhaust pipe design so that exhaust header removal would no longer be required when replacing the oil filter. Carburetor tuning was modified to deal with starting and off-idle take off difficulties. Also in 2001 the subframe was changed from a steel to a blue painted aluminum style.
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 ...
Carburetor heat (usually abbreviated to 'carb heat') is a system used in automobile and piston-powered light aircraft engines to prevent or clear carburetor icing. It consists of a moveable flap which draws hot air into the engine intake. The air is drawn from the heat stove, a metal plate around the (very hot) exhaust manifold.
