Photo of an Adapter Installed on a
Tecumseh HM100 Engine
The photo above illustrates how most adapters install on an
engine. Adapters are just that. They adapt to whatever
carburetor an engine has and are installed between the carburetor and air
cleaner. Above, you can see the adapter is between the carburetor on the left
and the air cleaner assembly on the right.
This is basically how they work:
The Adapter has a hose running to it from the
demand type regulator supplied in the kit. The center of the adapter has a
venturi.
A venturi has a
opening in the middle
and its shape resembles a doughnut.
All around the edge of the center opening are many small holes. As air passes
through the center opening and over the many small holes, fuel from the regulator
is delivered to the air stream. How much fuel depends on how much air is passing
over the holes which depends on how far the throttle is open based on the
governor.
People often ask about power loss with the adapter style kits. We have never
had a complaint about power loss with any of our kits.
After the installation, the engine should be
tested right away on gasoline. If a reduction in performance is noticed on
gasoline you may
choose to remove the adapter when using gasoline. This usually takes only a few
minutes though it is often not necessary.
So basically, adapter kits are not a conversion,
they are an adaptation.
