Glass Carburetor Running a Briggs & Stratton Engine + How Does a Carburetor Work?
Ever wonder what a glass carburetor would look like inside? Well, now we all know! Pretty awesome with all the fuel squirting around and getting sucked into the engine! The glass head Briggs that / 805roadking did a while ago was part of the inspiration for this video so a special thanks to them. If you haven't already you should go watch my series on turning an old refrigeration compressor into a working 2 stroke internal combustion engine with only a hacksaw and a drill. I also build a mini carburetor for that engine which is in part 6. • DIY Compressor to Internal Combustion Engine
For future reference, do not use acrylic for handling gasoline because it becomes cracked and cloudy(crazed) very quickly. But it was all I had on hand to make it out of, so it does the job. After it becomes badly crazed, I can clear it up by burning a propane torch inside the carburetor throat.
Also checkout HackPGH, it's a maker/hacker space where I used the lathe to turn this. It's a really great place to go if you like making things. https://hackpgh.org/
