2. Rev limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev_limiter

   As the RPM of the engine increases, the throttle plate in the carburetor is gradually closed, reducing the amount of fuel and air admitted to the engine, until the engine RPM is stable. If RPM drops below the desired value, the throttle plate will automatically open, admitting more fuel/air mix to the engine.

4. Brake-specific fuel consumption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-specific_fuel...

   Brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is a measure of the fuel efficiency of any prime mover that burns fuel and produces rotational, or shaft power. It is typically used for comparing the efficiency of internal combustion engines with a shaft output.

5. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

   The comparison of mean piston speed (black line) with real piston speed (color lines). Diagram shows one stroke from BDC to TDC. Revolution = 1.000 min-1, stroke = 88 mm. The connecting rod ratio l/r varies: 3 - red, 4 - green, 5,5 - blue. The mean piston speed is the average speed of the piston in a reciprocating engine. It is a function of ...

6. Ford Model T engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T_engine

   During most of the T's production run, its 10 US gal (38 L; 8 imp gal) fuel tank was mounted to the frame beneath the front seat. Because Ford relied on gravity to feed fuel to the carburetor rather than a fuel pump, a Model T could not climb a steep hill when the fuel level was low. The solution was to climb steep hills in reverse.

7. Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

   A centrifugal governor is a specific type of governor with a feedback system that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the flow of fuel or working fluid, so as to maintain a near-constant speed.
