Air jets vs fuel jets

OK guys- so while I am working on cleaning my pilot circuits up today, I noticed something I never realized.

Pilot fuel jet = smaller size than main fuel jet.

Pilot AIR jet = BIGGER than main fuel jet.

Why?

Common sense dictates the SMALL amount of fuel at idle would require a SMALL amount of air as well.

Then the MAIN fuel jet being bigger allowing more fuel would need MORE air.

BUT... Now that I am thinking this through - the air it gets is from the throat of the carb... so the MAIN jet's air... is only to go to the emulsion tube... to airate the gas. Tiny bubbles... tiny jet... right?

And with the pilot air jet, it needs a bigger jet to get more air because of low RPM 'suction' and the fact that the throttle plates are nearly closed.

Wow. I think that makes sense.

Right? Please advise, wrong, right, partially right?

Thanks for listening!

 

"Common sense dictates the SMALL amount of fuel at idle would require a SMALL amount of air as well."

No. Completely wrong. D-, F. You FAIL the course. Read some Theory.

Air~Fuel Ratio! Ratio. One side different from the other.

Minuscule amounts of FUEL are Atomized and added to a Heavy Volume of Air to achieve a Mixture that is volatile and explosive in order that the Power the Precise Mixture creates will cause the Air/Fuel Mixture to burn and expand, rapidly and with such force it can be harnessed to move a Piston within a Cylinder and that motion converted to Mechanical Energy.

 

d- F you fail lol your posts are always great ric
