Default Re: Hey, I was wondering (Carburetors)

This AM, I was thinking about the old N.A.C.A wing profiles and shapes and how different they were and I started to think about the other common use of Bernoulli's principal, carburetors! Specifically, mod. A Zenith carbs and it occurred to me with all the improvement made to the valves, cam, ports, heads etc, nothing much was done to the carburetion. And might not the relatively small bore be an obstruction. Plus, the "Bullnosed"shape of the entrance might be something of a obstruction . I think that if a wing were shaped like that the plane would be said to have built in headwinds.
