Subject: | Re: More Carbmate |
I've never used a Carbmate, just the old timer two vacuum gauge set up. But your
question doesn't care which gauge type is used.
Vacuum goes up as throttle is closed and vice versa. An easy way to recall this
is to remember that the engine is a pump sucking air through the carburetor.
The more closed the throttle, the more suction in the intake manifold. Vacuum
is a measure of this suction.
To get a particular vacuum gauge reading to go down, increase the throttle on that
carb.
To get a particular vacuum gauge reading to go up, decrease the throttle on that
carb.

Tom,
Thanks for your reply. I understand the relationship of throttle to vacuum
- But still am confused as to which carb I should adjust AND when the LED is
skewed left of right does this mean higher or lower vacuum ON WHICH SIDE.
I've decided to use the right Carb as the Master as the cable run is very
short and probably less chance of error. OR question to those who are
running a Rotax 912ULS am I again being anal about adjusting when only one
led out???
