Hello azkronic, some info on boost bottle function
nice lookin setup
does the bottle need to be pressurized?
that is some serious fuel line (no lack of flow there !)
keep an eye on your carb for small carp (no fuel filter)
The intake pulse that is felt between the cyclinder and the carb when -off the throttle or when the piston is down covering the intake port causes air to try to go back out thru the carburetor - it has no place to go but back out. The boost bottle gives that intake pulse atomized fuel a place to go and be stored ( a little bit of pressure also ) in the momentary condition. Then when the throttle is open, the regular carburetor to intake air fuel mixture + what is stored in the boost bottle is sucked into the engine and you get some what of a supercharger effect. The atomized fuel going into the boost bottle is in a gas ( non liquid form ) so it is easily "digested" by the engine when it comes back out of the boost bottle.
The boost botttle is somewhat pressurized by the intake pulse pressure - but this is all automatic when the engine is running. A person doesn't pressurize the bootle like filling a tire with air.
I have the kit form of a fuel filter inside the gas tank on the inner gas tank part of the fuel petcock valve. I don't have an external fuel filter - maybe it is better to have one, just haven't tried it.
..............Thanks, quarkdude
