Why is air coming out of my carburetor?
Ruling out an EGR valve that can be stuck or a loose or defective PCV valve, will narrow the problem down to an air leak in the carburetor. A serious leak with massive amounts of air flowing into the system can cause non-idle condition, forcing the use of the gas pedal to keep the vehicle running.
What causes a carburetor to load up?
Checklist: Where the carburetor is concerned, there are any number of potential culprits, including: Float: high float level or heavy, fuel-soaked float. Sticky or dirty needle valves. Worn jets or nozzles.
What causes a carbureted engine to backfire through the exhaust?
Generally, a backfire is caused by an imbalance in the air to fuel ratio. Fuel To Air Mixture Is Too Lean Too much air and not enough fuel causes backfires to occur in the intake manifold. The exploding mixture then vents through the carburetor. Improper carburetor adjustments or vacuum leaks can cause this condition.
What happens if too much air in carburetor?
When a carburetor is running lean, the fuel-to-air ratio is off because the carburetor is delivering too much air. Typical symptoms of a lean mixture are: Backfiring as the throttle is closed (primarily during coast-downs) Lurching acceleration.
Why does my aircooled engine back fire when hot?
Is has various vacuum ports that are blanked off. The distributor doesn’t have vacuum operated advance/retard. The points look new. The engine runs fine when cold, leave it overnight and it runs, revs and drives perfectly. When it is warm it has no power you can barely pull away, it also back fires extremely bad while accelerating.

When does the exhaust valve open on a 4 stroke engine?
At about 120-130 degrees ATDC, the energy from the fuel burn is so low that it really isn’t putting a lot of force on the piston any more, and the leverage that the piston has on the crank is getting pretty low, so the exhaust valve starts open before reaching BDC.
What happens to event timing as engine speed increases?
The faster the engine turns, the more advance the ignition needs to keep up, so modern systems advance the timing as the RPM increases.
