Desription The Bodensee Emissions system is designed to lower exhust emissions to meet regultions on the Bodensee. It onsists of the following items: Positive Crnkse Ventiltion (PCV) iruit, Ported Vuum Swith (PVS) iruit, higher temperture thermostt [160 F (71 C)], nd speilly designed Weer WFB ruretor. Weer WFB ruretor is unique in design, s the min ody nd flnge re st s one piee unit. This, long with the owl over, mke up the two piee onstrution whih is mde of light, durle luminum to dissipte het. There re two seprte flot iruits. Eh flot iruit supplies fuel to primry low speed iruit nd primry nd seondry high speed iruit. The owls re vented to the inside of the ir horn. A onneting vent pssge effets lne of the ir pressure etween the two owls. The flot needle vlves re instlled t n ngle to provide the est possile seting tion on the needles. This provides etter needle response to flot movement, lso. The PVS iruit is used in onjuntion with the idle iruit. When the engine is old, the PVS iruit is losed. This shuts off metered ir-leed to the idle iruit, to mintin rih idle iruit for wrm-up. One the engine wrms up [ pproximtely 128 F (54 C)], the PVS opens, llowing metered mount of ir to e mixed into the idle iruit. This lens the idle iruit to the proper operting ir-fuel rtio. The high speed iruits use stged step-up rods in the min metering jets to ontrol the mount of fuel dmitted to the nozzles. The position of the step-up rod is ontrolled y mnifold vuum pplied to the vuum piston. A primry ir leed loted in the venturi luster prevents rih ondition or og s the high speed iruit is retivted fter deelertion. Smll L shped metl ts, lled distriution t(s), re tthed to some venturi lusters nd protrude into the ir strem t the proper lotion to id distriution of fuel on seleted pplitions. The PCV iruit ventiltes rnkse vpors (unurned gses) k into the intke mnifold to e urned gin.
