Altitude Compensator: Description and Operation





Description
The air jet controller is an atmospheric pressure sensing device which controls the amount of air flow into the slow and main air jets of the primary carburetor throat, and the slow air jet of the secondary carburetor throat.
As atmospheric pressure is reduced by increasing altitude, the bellows expand to open the valve in the air jet controller, increasing air flow to the jets to maintain optimum air/fuel ratio.
