Hey y'all,
I am glad to see that the New Year has brought everyone along safe and
sound.
I'm in the process of trying to educate myself in the subject of
turbocharging. The subject of this affection (affectation?) is my
motorcycle. this one has a twin-cylinder tractor engine, and is most
commonly known as a Harley-Davidson Sportster.
Anyway - I'm running through some things in my mind, and it appears that I
will have to some way or another pressurize the float bowl on my carburetor,
and that this pressurization will have to vary directly with the boost that
the turbo develops. Otherwise, I expect that once the carburetor venturi is
pressurized, that I may have a problem with the fuel being drawn out of the
float bowl, and instead, that the fuel will be pushed BACK into the float
bowl, and perhaps even out of the carburetor.
I would appreciate any input, to include whether or not my concern is fact
or fallacy.
Looking forward to seeing a bunch of ya at Maxton in March -
