How does mixture control work in a car?
Lower the needle into the fuel line going to the carburetor’s discharge nozzle, and it can lean the mixture for higher altitudes; retract the needle from the fuel line opening, and it can enrich the air/fuel mixture for operations at lower altitudes. At high power settings, the throttle can say, “I’m sending tons of fuel to the engine.”
How long does it take to change Honda air mix motor?
Only takes about 30 minutes to do it and its nothing hard. You can see it from the drivers side, under the dash by looking to the center. 2 screws hold it in, but you will have to take off 2 nuts holding the accelerator pedal down to access them. Just one thing or another will take longer then anticipated.
Why is mixture control important in an airplane?
The mixture control must feel important, because it is normally colored red to let the pilot know it can do things the other levers can’t—like kill the engine. Some airplanes have something called FADEC (full-authority digital engine control). Computers figure out proper mixture settings, leaving the pilot out of the loop.
How does an air blend door actuator work?
An air blend door actuator is constructed from a plastic housing, a small electric motor and a plastic gear set. A door position sensor is also incorporate into the unit to send feed back information to the climate control computer.

What are the basic rules for mixture control?
First, make sure you have auto-mixture unchecked. Then you set the mixture according to what the circumstances warrant. There are a few basic rules of thumb that you can follow, but for the overall picture you need to make sure it is correctly set for maximum performance. One thing I have have been studying lately is “density altitude”.
Is the mixture control the same color as the levers?
There’s no mixture control! Sometimes, though, it is the same color as the rest of the levers (or knobs). Pilots who pull it while in flight learn an important lesson: Don’t do that.
