mfg Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 On Studebaker Avantis with R2 engines, the sealed carburetor compensator valve allows extra fuel into the secondary venturis to richen the mixture under 'High Boost' conditions.....True?

brad Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Do you mean the hot idle compensator? If so it's false, it is a bi-metallic spring loaded valve that opens when hot to allow more AIR into the engine to LEAN it out . Hot gas vapor will richen a mixture....yep, even fumes will change how the car runs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
