Among the topics are winding rope life and safety on incline winders, designing overwind arresting systems, hoisting by float chamber, minimizing coincident peaking in a multi-hoist mine system, an emergency braking system for use with steel mine shaft guides, improving the safety and efficiency of mine hoisting, the role of simulation in ground handling optimization at the Grasberg Block Cave Mine, and radial pressure damage analysis of wire ropes operating on multi-layer drum winders.
A cooling fan was added for the carburettor which otherwise would get so hot fuel would vaporize inside the float chamber, leading to fuel starvation.
If none of this solves the problem, it could be that your fuel pump is faulty causing low pressure delivery to the carburetor float chamber.
