What Richie said just doesn't make sense: engines won't produce different flames if they're direct injected or carburator injected. Or maybe I got it wrong in the first place. |
I don't really explain things very well. I think that fuel injection is a much more precise system than a carbureted engine and much less likely to flame up when being started. In all of the videos I've watched of 109s being started not once have I seen one have a stack fire. That's why I said I thought the Allied pilots will have more fun with the flames and over priming than the Germans will. Does that make sense? Put BF 109 in youtube and watch 109s start.
