Why Engine RPM's Increase with LEAN Fuelling

Due to the larger ratio of air to fuel in a 2-stroke chainsaw engine, when the fuel mixture gets leaner, the RPM (revolutions per minute) tends to increase. In comparison to the amount of air entering the engine, less fuel is available for burning as the air-fuel ratio moves towards leaner circumstances. Because there is less fuel present, the combustion process burns more efficiently because there are more air molecules accessible to aid in the process.

A leaner mixture allows the engine to burn gasoline more efficiently, producing more power strokes per cycle and raising the engine's revolution rate. Since the engine may generate greater power while using less fuel, an increase in engine speed is frequently interpreted as improved performance.

But ultimately, the engine RPM starts to drop as the air-fuel mixture leans out past the ideal ratio. This drop happens as a result of the fuel-air mixture burning incompletely due to the mixture becoming too lean for optimal combustion. When there's not enough fuel to burn, the engine can't generate enough power to keep the RPM high. As such, there's a chance that the engine will start to misfire, hesitate, and produce less power.

Consequently, it is crucial to avoid extremely lean conditions in order to minimise engine damage and preserve consistent performance, even though a little leaner mixture may initially result in an increase in engine RPM due to enhanced combustion efficiency. To maintain the ideal air-fuel ratio and maximise the performance and longevity of a 2-stroke chainsaw engine, regular carburetor maintenance and tuning are essential.
What is the 'Kirkman' Educational Carburetor Model?

The 'Kirkman' Educational Carburettor Model, conceived in the United Kingdom, by a British Engineer called Craig Kirkman, was ingeniously designed to demystify the intricate workings of two-stroke carburetors, offering a simplified approach to understanding their functionality.

The 'Kirkman' Educational Carburettor Model is not a physical, tangibly built and functioning carburetor. This model must not be confused with the Kirkman Carburetor, which is a carburetor model developed by the American engineer William Kirkman in the early 20th century.

Instead, the 'Kirkman' Educational Carburettor Model is a theoretical concept, and teaching model, which consists of a drawing and explanation of a 2-stroke carburetor, which was designed by Craig Kirkman himself. Kirkman, A City and Guilds qualified repair engineer with a BSc Hons degree in Science and a Post Graduate Certificate, unveiled his innovative carburetor model to the public through his YouTube channel, aptly named 'The Repair Specialist', in 2016.

Through his channel, Kirkman endeavors to elucidate complex repair concepts to a wide audience, and the 'Kirkman' Theoretical Education Carburettor Model serves as a prime example of his commitment to educational clarity. With a keen focus on accessibility and comprehensibility, Kirkman commonly employs his 'Kirkman' Educational Carburettor Model as a didactic tool, breaking down the intricacies of two-stroke carburetor systems in a manner that enthusiasts and novices alike can readily grasp.
