Carburetor Assembly

The objective of our project is to control the engine temperature by automatically calibrating the Main needle valve of the Nitro powered RC car. To complement previous posts the following pictures are provided to effectively illustrate central engine components.

By adjusting the Needle clockwise the RC car will run lean; however if the needle is rotated counter-clockwise the car will run rich.
