Mixture Temperature COMPENSATOR

Mixture temperature compensator consists of a temperature sensitive valve controlling an air by-pass, extending from the air cleaner to the controlled vacuum area in the carburetor. Under conditions where fuel is at a high temperature (prolonged idling in high ambient temperatures), valve will open to supply additional air which will lean out the mixture enriched by fuel vapors from evaporative loss control system and increased fuel flow due to high fuel temperature.
