Fuel System
The fuel system in a combustion engine go-kart includes the fuel tank, fuel lines, carburetor, or fuel injection systems. These components work together to deliver fuel to the engine efficiently, ensuring optimal performance.
- Fuel Tank: The fuel tank stores the gasoline needed to power the engine. It is typically made from durable materials like plastic or metal and is designed to prevent leaks and withstand the rigors of racing.
- Fuel Lines: Fuel lines transport gasoline from the fuel tank to the carburetor or fuel injection system. They are usually made from flexible, fuel-resistant materials to ensure a consistent and reliable fuel supply.
- Carburetor: The carburetor mixes fuel with air in the correct ratio for combustion in the engine. It plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. Regular cleaning and adjustment of the carburetor are necessary to maintain proper engine function.
- Fuel Injection System: Some modern go-karts use fuel injection systems instead of carburetors. Fuel injection systems precisely control the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, providing improved performance, efficiency, and emissions compared to carburetors.
