Cruising Range
In the cruising range from B to C, the exhaust gas
dilution problem is relatively insignificant. The
primary interest lies in getting maximum fuel
economy.
Power Range
During peak power operation the engine requires a
richer mixture, as indicated by the line CD due to
the following reasons;
To provide best power: Since high power is
desired, it is logical to transfer the economy
settings of the cruising range to that mixture
which will produce the maximum power usually
in the range of 12:1.
Size of a Carburetor
The size of a carburetor is generally given in terms
of the diameter of the venturi tube in mm and the jet
size in hundredths of a millimeter.
Advantages
Improvement in volumetric efficiency. It
eliminates majority of carburetor pressure
losses and almost eliminates the requirement of
manifold heating.
Manifold wetting is eliminated due to the fuel
being injected into or close to the cylinder and
need not flow through the manifold.
Atomization of fuel is independent of cranking
speed and therefore starting will be easier.
Less volatile fuel can be used.
Variation of air-fuel ratio is negligible even
when vehicle takes different positions like
turning, and uneven roads.
Disadvantages
High maintenance cost
Difficulty in servicing
Possibility of malfunction of some sensors
