What Is the 3-Jet CV Carburetor?

What Is the 3-Jet CV Carburetor? thumbnail
CV carburetors are found on motorcycles.

Constant velocity (CV) carburetors are upgraded engine components for motorcycles. These devices use larger jets, or more than one jet, to increase engine performance by optimizing and increasing fuel flow.

  1. Carburetor Jets

    • A jet is a hole which draws fuel into a carburetor where it is vaporized and sent on to be combusted. Jets are found in the venturi of the carburetor. A venturi is a tapered pipe that serves to constrict the flow of fuel in a vehicle to increase the velocity of fuel being pulled into the carburetor.

    Jet CV Carburetors

    • CV jets draw more fuel into a carburetor. To increase the amount of fuel being drawn even further, additional jets are sometimes added. Three-jet CV carburetors are designed for high-performance motorcycles. These carburetors are often modified a great deal further to further increase performance.

    Three-Jet CV Carbs

    • Conventional one-jet CV carbs can be altered by individuals by purchasing a jet kit. These kits have everything necessary for the alterations, including the drill bits for the job.
