Yes, SU's are cooler than you think too.. I think someone pointed out
it's variable venturi, constant velocity characteristics a while back.
That little "slide" is the SU's cpu,and sensor. It measure's the
engines overall "air pumping/sucking" ability, and offers the
appropriate amount of fuel/air for any given RPM, via vacum slide.
What I've wondered is if.. you remove the fuel bowl, attach the fuel
lines to the jets, then fabricate a needle that would go from, full
shutoff to the appropriate "wide open" amount of fuel for the maximum
air. Would you not have a throttle body fuel injector, with its own
engine sensor ( slide/ vacum ) compensator ? Anyone game ?
I thought about this as I learned to understand how these things
worked. Anyone want to try to make needles? I'll test 'em out !
My guess is that this set up would ( properly setup and adjusted )
would out perform any standard throttle body injector available.
Any thoughts?
Oh yeah, my hats off to the engineers of the SU !
