Both terms share their roots in the Classical Latin centenarius, meaning hundredlike, but the quintal has a convoluted etymology: It became Late Latin centenarium pondus, then in succession, Byzantine Greek ÎºÎµÎ½ÏÎ·Î½Î¬ÏÎ¹Î¿Î½ (kentenarion) and Arabic qintar ÙÙØ·Ø§Ø±.
If your air filter gets too dirty or clogged, your engine won't be able to suck enough air into the combustion chambers. The engine will then run rich (i.e., too much gas and not enough air). When this happens, your car will lose power and run roughly. Your Check Engine light also may come on. If you really neglect the air filter for a long time, your car may stop running altogether. While permanent damage is unlikely, it is possible. If an air filter were sufficiently dirty and damaged, it could allow harmful, abrasive contaminants into the combustion chamber.
2. Clogged carburetor jet holes. If you have a clogged hole (or holes) then the venturi effect in the carburetor cannot pull in enough gas for the engine to have the proper mixture of air to fuel. When ever you keep it on choke there is a butterfly valve that closes restricting the air flow by a little.est Answer: you,ll probably have to take the carburetor off and clean it real good ,chances are the jets are stopped up on it,it could be from old gas also,but either way it has to be cleaned out,then it should run ok,good luck with it.
