 INTRODUCTION b u r e tt o r and the Ka
rt
The c a r
The VHSH 30 carburettor has been developed specifically for kart
application thanks to the experience acquired with the main official
teams (VORTEX, TM, CRS, SGM, MAXTER, PAVESI etc.) and
it has been homologated by CIK-FIA for the second consecutive
three years in 125 ICC and SUPER ICC categories; the product
can grant the maximum power together with a very good
acceleration thanks to the complete management of each
engine operation condition at any rpm. The complete components
equipment may grant an indipendent management of the different
utilization phases: start, idle, progression, stabilized condition, total
or partial fast opening, wide open throttle. The table shows the
operation condition, the influence on each calibration component,
and the picture of the item. In addition you can find the
specification with the basic calibration, and the list of the adjusting
components, and the table with the dimensions of the conical
needle in the different sizes.

It is possibile that, due to the weather and/or geographic

changes, or to the different engine features (thermal,
exhaust, ignition) we can have carburation problems.
It’s therefore necessary to act on the different setting
in order to establish the correct operation compromise.

The fundamental rule for a correct setting is to avoid

however, it’s important to act on each component at a time,

in order to evaluate the effective influence and eventually go back

to the initial conditions before testing another part.

The influence of the altitude and the temperature is evident mainly

D E LL O R at wide open throttle and at idle; it’s therefore necessary to act first
on the air screw and then on the main jet. It’s then useful to
remember that higher level we are, more the carburetion
ennriches and more the ambient temperature increases, more the
air/fuel mixture title enriches.

For any further and more detailed explanations on the

carburettor’s operation and setting up, please refer to the specific

 1 starting
Before starting the engine, please assure that the
STARTING JET

carburettor’s float chamber and the feeding circuit

are filled and in case of cold engine, open the starter
and go ahead with the ignition. The component, which
influences the ignition is the starting jet: higher the value of such
component will be, richer the cold ignition phase with starter
inserted will be. This kind of enrichment is active only with the
starter on, therefore it affects only when such component is
actuated.

2 idle
For the idle adjustment we operate on the
hrottle valve screw, which moves the “stop”
position of the valve itsself.
IDLE JET

Such a component allows the increase or the

decrease of the rpms at idle. Together with the adjustment of the
rpm, we have to set the “title” i.e. the quantity of air/fuel at idle.
Operate on the air screw, which acts as a “leaner”: by closing it we
get an enrichment; by opening it a leaning
The influence of such a component, besides on the idle regularity,
is detectable on the total or partial fast openings and on the returns
at idle: if during the fast openings from idle we should notice some
pauses, faults for lean, we have to tighten the screw in order to have
an enrichment; we need to operate progressively by moving the
screw of ¼ turns each time.
If the fault is due to too much fuel, we will have to open the air screw.
It’s important to have a correct engine idle in order to have a partial
and/or total good pick up without any hesitation and without shutting
off during the release and return at idle condition.
The adjustment of the title at idle and of the set rpm is important
even to improve the cold startings (with starter on) and the warm
startings (with starter off).
 3 progression
On the progression, i.e. the first forth
of the opening, more components
interact, among them we find, as
previously stated, the idle adjustment
screw, the idle jet and the throttle valve.
The idle jet includes an external jet and an internal
emultion jet: even in this case, for the enrichment it’s
necessary to increase the emulsioned jet, in order to
lean such a component.
Another setting component is the throttle valve, which champfer
influences more or less the idle and main circuit: higher is the component,
more vacuum and flow speed will be reached with subsequent fuel increase
on the intermediate and fast openings; therefore, by using throttle valves
with a greater cut. we can get the contrary effect.

4 stabilized
Even for the partial load, different components such
as the atomizer and the conical needle interact: if we
need to enrich or to lean the entire curve (except for
WOT), we have to act on the emulsion tube’s diameter; on
the contrary with the conical needle we can change, according to the
profile, the curve partially (see encl. table). If we move the needle’s position
up, all the curve enriches, down all the curve leans. In this case even the
wide open throttle is however influenced (function of the diameter of the
needle top and position).
 MAIN JET

FLOAT ARM
5 wide open throttle
The component, which mainly influences the
wide open throttle is the main jet. As a matter of
fact the variation of such a component, increases
EMULSION TUBE

or decreases the fuel quantity at the wide open

throttle or partially wide open throttle ( up to one forth of the
venturi’s section).
We may suggest to start with a main jet of 5-9 points higher than
the standard adjustment and go down progressively up to reach the
compromise limit between performances and temperatures in order
to avoid seizures or detonations for lean condition. If under power
conditions that means with a completely wide open throttle valve or
engine under load, we should need to change the fuel quantity, by
changing the fuel level in the float chamber, we may change the
floats With lighter floats the level decreases, having in such a way a
leaning of the power and of the transient state in the fast total
openings, on the contrary the heaviest ones increase the
level, enriching the power and the transient state itself.
It’s important to check if the trim of the floats’ arm, with
the carburettor up side down, is parallel to the float
chamber level and to an height of 4,0 +/- 0,3 mm at the
end of the chamber itself.

The above picture represents the choke and shows the influence of the
different components as far as the throttle gas opening is concerned; it’s
just indicative and it’s however a function of the combination of the different
components and of the geometrical features of the conical needle.
