Accelerator Pump: Description and Operation
Fig. 28 Temperature compensated accelerated pump. Motorcraft model 2150A carburetor
The temperature compensated accelerator pump, Fig. 28, is used on vehicles equipped with the Motorcraft 2150A model carburetor, allows
delivery of a large pump capacity to facilitate cold engine requirements and a smaller pump capacity during warm engine operation.
The amount of fuel delivered during warm engine operation is a function of the rate at which the accelerator pedal is applied (fast application/low
capacity, slow application/high capacity).
-
The design incorporates a bypass bleed controlled by a vacuum operated valve.
-
Normally, the input signal controlling the valve position is manifold vacuum switched by a PVS located in the engine coolant system.
-
The valve is normally closed when no vacuum is applied, allowing full pump capacity during cold operation.
-
With vacuum applied, the pump functions as a rate sensitive valve controlling the amount of fuel bypassed back to the carburetor fuel bowl and
not delivered to the intake manifold air stream.
