According to conventional engine theory , yes it does. The ideal air/fuel mix is somewhere around 14:1.
Extra fuel in the mix won't all burn and has a (slight) cooling effect. The engine may produce more power at the expense of fuel mileage.
Too little fuel in the mix and the engine runs a bit hotter. Economy goes up and power down.
The above refers to the fuel/air mix sent into the combustion chamber by the carb. How much fuel is getting from the tank to the carb - a malfunctioning petcock for example - can effect how the carb is doing it's job, but it's really a seperate issue.
Thank you....
And just to clarify once again the issue I had. I don't run hard, or long....just ask my wife (sorry
) and I only noticed the popping on decel, it seemed a bit more than norm, but in no way was I running long enuff, or in a manner my bowl was ever in danger of going dry.
Oh, and yes OF, I still have the factory vacsucker on, will till after my warranty expires, then off she comes, and doing a versy too
