Construction ‘The main body and cover of the Weber DCNF carburettor are of diecast aluminium or zinc alloy (Mazak) construction. ‘The mounting flange is machined flat for fiting on the inlet manitols ‘The throttle spindle is made of steel and the throttle velve plates of brass ‘All fuel and air ets and emulsion tubes are of brass cons trustion and are secured to the main body by srew fitings, The internal channels of the main body are mainly cried nd where necessary, sealed with lead plugs The throttie spindle Is supported by two ball-bearings ‘mounted in the main body. Washors are located at each ond of {he spindle to provent ar being drawn through the bearings, ‘The fuel float assembly Isconstructed of thin brass sheet and comprises twa halves soldered together ‘The accelerator pump is of the claptvagm type and the operating lever is actuated by a cam plate attached to the end ofthe throttle shaft, 3 Operation Cold starting The starting device fitted to type OCNF carburetors operates independently of the main circuit and may be con.

Fuel rom the float chamber (8) s drawn thraugh channels (34) into the start ing jets (22) where it is emulsifed with air entering through the top of the stating jets (92). The mixture is then drawn through ‘channels (33) where itis further emulsified with air from the hole (31, After passing the starter valves (37) where additional air from holes (36) weakens the mistura, the final mixture ie Srawn through chennols [35} into the engine below the throttle valves (14). ‘The starting device has a progressive action made possible by the tapered end of the valve heads and lowering the valves will reduce the amount of mixture admitted to the engine until when completely shut, the supply wil cease Idling and progression Refer to Fig. 13.2 and note that when the engine is idling with the throttle valves (14) closed, fuel fs drawn through the ‘main jots and emulsion tube wells (6), along channels (18) £0 ‘the ing jts (18] where it bacomas emulsified with ar enter ing througn the callbrated bushes (20). The mixture then travels through the channels (17), past the adjustable mixture screws (18), through the iting toed holes (15) and into the carburetor throats atthe engine side of the throttle valves (74) The ising mixture screws (16) have tapered ends and can therefore be Adjusted to admit more ot less mixture as necessary. ‘When the throtie valves are opened slightly to increase the engine speed. the progression oles (13) are brought into aexion to provide adsitional fuel and to enable the engine to reach the speed when the main systom starts to function, Tn order to ensure that each carburettor barrel passes: Fig. 13.1 Cold starting phase (See 3) Float chamber 34 Channet 14 Throttle valves 35 Channel 21 Airholes 36 Channet 32 Staring jets 37 Starting valves 33 Channel identical amounts of air. in particular when the engine is idling, the majority of DCNF carburettors incorporate air compensation ‘serows in each barrel, whereby air can bypass the thot Valves (14) via the staring device ducts (36).
