How does the choke in a carburettor assist in starting a cold engine?
A cold engine won’t vaporise the fuel as well as it would in warmer conditions, so the choke helps enrich the mixture (either by adding in more fuel or cutting out airflow) to increase the amount of combustible vapour available to start the engine.
When the choke is applied the fuel come out from?
By restricting the flow of air into the throat of the carburetor, the choke valve reduces the pressure inside the throat, which causes a proportionally-greater amount of fuel to be pushed from the main jet into the combustion chamber during cold-running operation.
Should choke be open or closed for cold start?
The choke is only used when starting a cold engine. When doing a cold start, the choke should be closed to limit the amount of air going in. Once the car has warmed up, if the choke does not open fully, the restriction in air may result in reduced power.
How do you tell if a choke is open or closed?
When the choke butterfly is allowing the most air flow, without restriction, it is open. Like a door. Open lets things through. when the choke is restricting the flow of air, it is closed.
What’s the problem with the Peugeot Partner cold starting?
Peugeot Partner cold starting problem As per title 2003 1.9D which on cold mornings is hard to start but once started its fine for the rest of the day.When starting from cold there’s alot of blue smoke which clears within seconds,tick over when cold is rough/lumpy but again this clears within 10 seconds.
What causes engine to stall with choke fully off?
Screw it out, the slide closes and allows less air AND fuel to get sucked into the engine which will make the rpms go down. this has nothing to do with the choke. My bike was doing the same thing, and I rode it that way for about 4 months. Then it sat for a while, and the fuel went bad.
Can a car start with the choke closed?
on the cns carb…you open the choke to choke it when cold starting and then close the choke all the way once it’s warmed up. It should run excellent with the choke closed. but seriously, 9 times out of 10, if you have to leave the choke 1/2 way on, then you have an air leak somewhere. check for air leaks at the carb with a can of starting fluid.
Why does my Peugeot Partner start with smoke?
During the night time as air is able to get into fuel system the diesel is syphoned back to tank using gravity. Then when you go to start it the fuel takes a while to pressurise and has air in it hence smoke. Common fault it’s usually the piece by the fuel filter. I have also seen this before. but on older cars normaly. .
Can a clogged fuel filter cause an engine to stall?
It’s true that sometimes when the filter is clogged or partly dirty, fuel will somehow go through the filter but will substantially clog the car’s injector or carburetor. And when this happens, it will cause the engine to stall, having start problems and much more.

What happens if your fuel filter is dirty?
Although a clogged or immensely dirty fuel filter can cause insufficient fuel supply from reaching the car’s engine. Reduction Of Fuel Mileage It is known that the injector influences how much fuel the engine consumes. And having no functional filtration unit, they can get dirty.
