With the introduction of stringent emission norms for two wheeler applications, and need to reduce green house gases emission, it is a challenging task to improve the performance of the engine, especially at part throttle conditions. The typical drawback of spark ignition engine is poor part throttle performance and the Indian driving cycle (IDC) predominantly covers these part throttle operations. Contrary to popular belief, carbureted two wheelers with engine capacity up to 250cc are able to meet regulation Euro III with add-ons like secondary valve and catalyst. Vehicles with EFI systems are more expensive and they are not able to provide any fuel economy benefit or improvement in drivability. Under these circumstances, carburetor designers are working continuously to improve its performance. In order to improve the performance, optimization of slow speed to high speed fueling circuit dividing ratio is of immense importance.
