Section V. FUEL SYSTEM
57. Description and Function
a. General. The purpose of the fuel system is to
store, convey, mix fuel with air, and then vaporize and
introduce the mixture into the engine. Fuel is stored in
the gasoline tank. It is filtered and flows through the fuel
supply lines to the carburetor under the pressure of a
fuel pump. The carburetor mixes the fuel with the
proper proportions of air and at the same time breaks it
into very fine spray particles. This atomized spray
changes to vapor as it travels through the heated intake
manifold to the combustion chamber.
b. Fuel Pump. The mechanical fuel pump (4, fig.
2) is used to pump fuel from the fuel tank to the
carburetor. The fuel pump mounts on the cylinder block
and is driven by an eccentric cam on the engine
camshaft contacting the fuel pump rocker arm.
Constant fuel pressure is maintained by an air dome and
a pulsating diaphragm operated and controlled by
linkage which adjusts itself to pressure demands.
c. Carburetor. The carburetor (3, fig. 2) is an
updraft carburetor of the double venturi design. Two
body castings are used. The fuel bowl hugs the center
line of the carburetor and together with the duplex float
makes it possible for this unit to maintain proper
metering of the air and fuel to the engine, without
