Abstract

Decreasing of petroleum reserve and increasing of fossil fuel consumed lead to an energy crisis. To anticipate that case, it is required for the development of modified motor vehicles to optimize fuel consumption. A modification toward the valve on the throttle body regulating the mixed amount of the incoming gasoline and air into the combustion chamber can be an alternative solution of the case. By changing the valve aperture system which has initially been linier become logarithmic with the gas handle, make the mixture of incoming gasoline and air into the combustion chamber more efficient. In this research Motorcycle Carburettor 110 cc is used. The result of the research shows that the fuel consumption can be optimized to 37% lower consumption compared to normal mode.
