ENGINE DIVISION SERVICE MANUAL TM 5-4210-230-14&P-1 GENERAL Power Enrichment System The  enriched  air/fuel  mixture  required  under  heavy  load conditions is provided by a supplementary fuel metering system and  the  power  valve  which  is  controlled  by  manifold  vacuum. Since   manifold   vacuum   is   proportional   to   engine   load,   the enrichment  can  be  triggered  at  any  required  point  in  the  load range.    Some  versions  of  this  carburetor  contain  a  two-stage power valve which can be calibrated to enrich the air/fuel ratio in  two  increments  in  the  load  range  in  order  to  provide  more precise   calibration   where   required   for   emission   control   (Fig. 10). The   power   valve   in   this   carburetor   is   a   diaphragm actuated,  spring  loaded  conical  valve  normally  closed  under high manifold vacuum conditions (cruise or idle) by the force of the   vacuum   acting   on   the   diaphragm.      When   the   manifold vacuum  is  reduced  to  a  given  level  (acceleration  or  load),  the spring force will open the valve, providing a path for fuel to flow from  the  fuel  bowl  to  the  main  metering  well,  bypassing  the main metering jet.  As engine load decreases, manifold vacuum increases    and    the    valve    returns    to    the    closed    position, eliminating the supplementary fuel.

To   provide   a   leaner   light   load   and   light   part-throttle operation, a twostage diaphragm-actuated power valve is used in some model series carburetors (Fig. 11). During  light  load  and  light  part  throttle  operation  where manifold vacuum drops to a pre-determined level, the first stage of the power valve opens and enriches the mixture slightly.  As manifold vacuum decreases on acceleration or steeper grades, the second stage opens, providing full power enrichment.  The two  stage  power  valve  is  serviced  as  an  assembly  and  is  not adjustable in the field. Figure 11  Two-Stage Power Valve 1.  First Stage Orifice 2.  Main Passage 3.  Main Stage Power Valve Modulator The power valve modulator is incorporated in the power valve  vacuum  system  to  ensure  fuel  enrichment  during  high speed,   wide   open   throttle   operation.      As   wide   open   throttle engine  speed  approaches  the  maximum  engine  RPM,  intake manifold  vacuum  may  rise  to  a  level  sufficient  to  close  the second stage of the power valve, thereby reducing fuel flow and engine power.  The power valve modulator system is designed to bleed off power valve CGES-125-T  Page 8 PRINTED IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
