Abstract: A testing device for general aviation carburetors and fuel servos. The testing device is capable of replicating carburetor operating characteristics operation under both naturally aspirated conditions and turbo charged compressed air conditions using sensors to monitor and record the operating characteristics of both horizontal and vertical type carburetors, and compare the data received with predefined values. The testing device measures both test fluid and air flow through a carburetor. A moveable camera is placed within the throttle body of the carburetor being tested providing visual inspection of the fluid atomization with snap shot capability. The testing device also includes flow sensors to record the performance of the carburetor, providing automated data collection with memory storage. The device is fully portable with lockable caster wheels.
