Founded as The Tillotson Mfg. Co. in 1914 in Toledo, Ohio, we first manufactured float carburetors for the burgeoning automotive industry. We grew along with the automotive industry, becoming one of the best-known carburetor manufacturers. In the late 1940âs, we revolutionized the handheld engine industry with the first diaphragm carburetors.
Carburetor ice is caused by the change in pressure as air passes through the venturi. Fuel atomized in the throat of the venturi evaporates. This uses heat from the metal of the carburetor and air. This air/fuel at lower pressure cools and takes even more heat away from the metal of the carburetor. At some point any moisture in the air will freeze on the metal of the carburetor.
