What Is a Secondary Throttle Plate and How Does It Enhance Performance?
The secondary throttle plate in multi-barrel carburetors is a key component that opens during high power demands, allowing additional airflow and fuel into the engine. This increased air-fuel flow provides the extra power needed for acceleration, towing, or climbing steep grades, ensuring your engine performs at its peak under demanding conditions.
A faulty or stuck secondary throttle plate can limit airflow, reduce power output, or cause uneven engine performance. At Custom Rebuilt Carburetors, we inspect, repair, and restore secondary throttle plates as part of our comprehensive carburetor rebuilding services, ensuring smooth operation and reliable performance when you need it most.
