− | Another way to figure carburetor size is with this formula: RPM x CID / 3456 x VE. (VE = volumetric efficiency). | + | Another way to figure carburetor size is with this formula: RPM x CID/3456 x VE. (VE = volumetric efficiency). |
A basic, run-of-the-mill engine might have 85% volumetric efficiency. A well planned-out motor can achieve 100% volumetric efficiency, and finely-tuned racing motors can reach up to 120% volumetric efficiency. | A basic, run-of-the-mill engine might have 85% volumetric efficiency.
