Shot The Carburator
I used a lazier-gun to shoot the carburator, lines, and fuel-bowl after a 10 mile drive in South Florida weather and found averages of 154 degrees.
When I asked our club about theses figures? They expressed shock. Now, I'm not experencing a problem, I just like an opinion. What is your information about the temps? Thanks |

I will shoot mine on a ten mile drive and see what my temps are.

Re: Shot The Carburator
I think you mean you aimed an infrared temperature sensor or gun at the carb, lines etc. to see how hot they get.

Re: Shot The Carburator
Exhaust manifold heat is transferred to the intake manifold to control icing and aide combustion. Look where Ford bolted the manifolds together, its a good sized transfer area.
Often the complaints of vapor lock and fuel boiling in the carb can be traced to improper timing creating high exhaust temperatures which are transferred. |
