Fuel flow deflector for use in a carburetor
A carburetor is described having a float bowl, an inlet valve controlled by a float in the float bowl to maintain a constant fuel level in the float bowl, an induction passage for supplying an air/fuel mixture to an engine, a fuel passageway for supplying fuel from the float bowl to the induction passage, the fuel passageway including an orifice positioned near the bottom of the float bowl, and an axially movable metering rod extending into the orifice to control the effective area of the orifice. The improvement described here consists of: a fuel flow directing adaptor having (A) an enclosure placed over the orifice to define a chamber above the orifice, the enclosure including an upper hole closely fitting the metering rod and a bottom open to the orifice, and (B) a passage connecting the chamber with a portion of the float bowl remote from the orifice.
