This paper describes the development of diagnostics and testing methods for the characterization of carburetor exit flow conditions in small utility engines. These diagnostics include: 1) Three different methods of acquiring intake flow photographs. 2) A technique to measure the thickness of the fuel film running along the bottom of the intake manifold using the electrical properties of the fuel. 3) A system for measuring the A/F ratio across the carburetor exit using a heated catalyst to oxidize the sampled mixture and a wide-range oxygen sensor to determine the A/F of the reacted sample.
