Jumping the Gap - Understanding what it means to your candle
Welcome back to our series of short articles on automotive repair and instructions for the mechanic new weekend warrior. It 'important to know that this is not written for the professional race car pit crew. In fact, it is for the average guy like you who really want to know just a little 'more about how his car and maybe want to dirty their hands written at the weekend. In this article I will specifically talk about what makes a candle.It 'important to understand this key part of the engine so that if something goes wrong and you think that power is related to you the information you need to really understand what to do and what not.
The candle is a fairly simple device. And 'main goal is durable enough to withstand the temperatures and the forces of combustion, but still able to flow in spite of the high temperatures lead coke and fast moving air andFuel mixtures. Come as a piston during the compression stroke, which compress air and fuel mixtures. At the top of the compression stroke, an electric current passes through the coil and power distribution cables, and up on the spine. On the tip of the plug there are two electrodes. Once the electricity reaches the peak of the spark plug gap a very thin at the negative electrode to jump on. If you missed the gap, the mixture of air and fuelcompressed and subjected to heat and causes the energy from the fire 40,000 volts or more electric pick. This flame front then moves through the mixture of air and fuel burns and pushes the piston down. When the spark reaches the negative electrode, the candle has the task of the next compression stroke, which repeats the entire process is done.
