Re: [COUPERS-TECH] Stromberg carb

Of course! Just as the same kind of sudden full-throttle application on a go-around can sometimes stumble the engine because the Stromberg has no accelerator pump, can't provide enough fuel to match a wide-open throttle, and all of a sudden the engine is seeing a lean condition. Never would have made that connection.. Thank you.

Dr Beeman, 

 

If there are any hot spot carbon buildups, the engine could continue to sputter with the mags off. Opening the throttle from an idle position quickly makes for a very lean and cold air mixture into the cyls....cooling down the potential hot carbon, so it does not ignite the fuel mixture..and cause "run on". A cool down idle period of a minute of so also helps prevent "run on".
