I have a problem with this statement. Having worked with carburetted engines (actually, only with carburetted engines), I can emphatically say that this is not true!!!


Maybe you meant to emphasize "to an extent" more than I think you did, but fuel flow is most definitely NOT adjusted and compensated for automatically. The fuel flow is set by jets and emulsion tubes with fixed orifices which flow at their maximum capacity ALL the time, and therefore are physically incapable of delivering more fuel. You HAVE to re-jet everytime you do anything to improve vol. efficiency.
