Small Engine Tip:
After securing the dlverter plate or washer in the air inlet side of
the modified carburetor, either replace the choke and rod (leave
in full choke position) or secure an appropriate size of tubing to
channel the. incoming air towards your reduced 01 p ening. This
helps maintain the needed vacuu m f or the reaction chamber while
speeding the air flow over the fuel feed tube .
