Carburettor flange

The carburettor flange is located between the carburettor and the intake manifold. A flange is a connecting piece between two parts. The two parts are attached to each other with bolts and nuts. This prevents liquids or gases from leaking from a system. Fuel and air are mixed in the carburettor. The fuel-air mixture enters the cylinders via the intake manifold to be burned. The carburettor flange prevents 'false air' from being sucked in. This is air that has not entered the carburettor via the combustion system. False air can carry dirt and grime from outside into the engine. This ultimately causes contamination of the car engine and can even lead to engine damage. Therefore, make sure you recognize the symptoms of a defective carburettor flange, so that you can replace this part in time.

Carburettor flange defective

A defective carburettor flange causes a bad connection between the intake manifold and carburettor. This allows polluted air to enter the engine system. You can recognize a defective carburettor flange by the following symptoms:

Poorly running engine: because there is an excess of air, the engine can choke. This reduces the engine's power.
The car idles poorly
The car is driving jerkily
An overheated engine

Driving too long with an air mixture that is too rich, causes the oil layer on the cylinder wall to disappear. This causes the pistons to rub against the cylinder wall, damaging the cylinders and pistons. Therefore, make sure that you replace a defective carburettor flange in time.
