2. SIMPLIFIED PISTON ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM CARB. AIR FILTER ENGINE THE PARTIAL VACUUM TENDS TO WORK AGAINST THE PISTON MOVEMENT MAKING IT HARDER FOR THEM TO PULL AIR IN INLET MANIFOLD AND FLOW RESTRICTION THROUGH THROTTLE VALVE CAUSED BY SUCTION FROM ENGINE BETWEEN THROTTLE VALVE AND ENGINE IS A PARTIAL VACUUM EXHAUST MANIFOLD INLET MANIFOLD VACUUM AND THEREFORE, THE CYLINDER MAY NOT BE FULLY CHARGED 100% WITH AIR/FUEL MIXTURE IF AIR COULD BE FORCED INTO THE ENGINE, THERE WOULD BE A GREATER VOLUME OF AIR/FUEL IN THE CYLINDER THEREFORE MORE POWER WOULD BE PRODUCED SO HOW COULD THIS BE ACHIEVED? BY USING AN AIR COMPRESSOR LET’S SEE HOW
