Niva carburetor: we set up and repair it ourselves

The carburetor on models 2121, 21213 and other cars has basically the same device. Functionally, it is located in the propulsion system, and with its help the fuel is mixed to the state of a combustible mixture. A carburetor, as a rule, consists of several main elements - a float chamber, a so-called jet (with a spray), a diffuser, and a throttle valve. It can have from one to four cameras on different cars, sequential or simultaneous opening of the throttle valves, horizontal, downward or upward movement of the working mixture.

Niva index designations

The wiring diagram may vary slightly depending on the design features of the vehicle.
First, let's look at the index notation:

1. VAZ 21213. This index designates a vehicle equipped with a carburetor. The volume of the power unit is 1.7 liters.
2. 21214. In VAZ 21214 cars, the scheme involves the use of a similar engine with the same volume. The only difference is that the car is equipped with a fuel injection system.
3. There is another model with the index 21213. In VAZ 21213 cars, the electrical circuit includes the same elements, only depending on the year of manufacture, the car can be equipped with a 1.8 liter engine.
4. Version 21073. The SUV is equipped with either an injection engine with nozzles or a Solex carburetor engine. One of the features of these cars is a contactless ignition circuit.
5. 21215. These SUVs were originally produced for export, so these cars are difficult to find on our roads. It is worth noting that they were equipped with Citroen diesel engines.

At the beginning of the article there is a diagram of the VAZ electrical equipment using the example of the Niva 2121 model. If you are the owner of version 2131 or any other, then there will be a difference in the circuit diagram, but not fundamentally. If we are talking about carburetor engines, then in this case the circuit, as well as the ignition, will not be protected (the author of the video is Nail Poroshin).

Operating principle of the main dosing chamber

Under the influence of vacuum that occurs in the engine cylinders, air is drawn through the filter. Next, oxygen is supplied to the first chamber. It passes through diffusers. Due to the fact that the air flow speed has increased, an even greater vacuum is created in the nozzle area.

Under its action, the fuel rises from the emulsion well from the atomizer. At the same time, air passes through the air nozzle into the emulsion tube and is then mixed with fuel. As a result, an emulsion is formed, which is sucked at high speed into the carburetor channels, where it connects with the air flow. The installed Solex 21073 carburetor on the Niva operates on this principle. Its design may vary depending on the modification. But the principle of operation of the systems is approximately the same for all devices.

How to reduce fuel consumption on a VAZ 2121

moLife Blog Carburetor Pierburg 2E
Using a standard carburetor, the Niva consumes a large amount of fuel. Putting a Solex carburetor on the field does not mean that the problem is completely solved

It is important to monitor many other systems and the overall condition of the vehicle.

The following parameters affect fuel consumption:

"Solex" and "Ozone"

The VAZ 2121 Niva model can be equipped with an “Ozone” carburetor with the serial designation 2107-110-7010-10 or 2107-110-7010-20. They differ from each other in that the first option has an old-style breaker and does not have a vacuum corrector. The second carburetor does not have a microswitch from the economizer, which affects the environmental friendliness of emissions and has some impact on fuel consumption.

This is the car part

• Checking and adjusting the idle speed of an engine with a 21073 Solex carburetor

The Niva 21213 is equipped with Solex type carburetors (model 21073-110-7010). They are considered quite “capricious”, which is primarily due to the negligence of the owners themselves. The incorrect operation of the device is primarily affected by low-quality fuel with a large amount of impurities, since in this model the fuel is taken through holes in the bottom of the float chambers (in other models these elements are raised above the bottom).

In addition, problems arise for those “nivovods” who do not promptly change the fuel or air filter, and also do not pay attention to proper cleaning of the carburetor from oil soot emissions through the ventilation system.

Adjustment of the VAZ carburetor is usually carried out in the float mechanism or in the starting and idle systems. These are very important operations that are best left to the experts.

The float mechanism on the Niva 2121 is adjusted in terms of the position of the floats relative to each other and relative to the walls of the float chamber. In addition, the mechanisms in the open and closed positions of the needle valve may need to be adjusted. In order not to disturb good adjustment, the car owner needs to carefully handle the carburetor cover when removing it, monitor the level of wear of the shut-off cone from the needle (its seat and tongue), as well as the axis of the mounting bracket.

How to carry out regulation using the example of a domestic carburetor

No idle speed for VAZ 2107 carburetor reasons. Idle speed of VAZ 2107 carb disappeared

The domestic “Zhiguli” carburetor “Ozone” is regulated by the supply of gasoline. At the same time, in the middle part of the designer they installed an “over-the-air” adjustment screw, this greatly expanded the range for settings of the machine unit. Before you begin the carburetor adjustment procedure, you need to make sure that the throttle adjustment drive is working properly and is not sticking. To do this, simply press the gas pedal. Then you need to set the ignition timing and adjust the gas distribution. These are complex engine tuning operations; each deserves its own article. Carburetor adjustment, so to speak, is the “finishing touch” to the final tuning of your car’s engine.

How is the idle speed of a VAZ adjusted?

1. First screw in the “quality” screw all the way to the limit.
2. Then carefully turn it back one and a half or 2 turns. This way your fuel mixture will be as enriched as possible with gasoline.
3. Now turn the “quantity” screw. It must be turned 2 turns from the point where the throttle valve turns. This will be enough to start the engine.
4. Then get into the car and start it.
5. After this, start turning the screw so that the amount of gasoline-air mixture with the throttle closed is sufficient for stable operation of the engine.
6. Using the same quality screw, achieve the composition of the mixture when the engine, when idling, begins to show the maximum number of revolutions. Carefully turn the adjusting screw and slowly reduce the speed to 900 rpm.

Experienced drivers perform this operation by ear. If the damper drive is adjusted properly, then at idle it will be completely closed, and when the gas pedal is pressed to the floor, it will open as much as possible. When the “quality” screw is screwed in as much as possible, the engine should stall. If this does not happen, you need to adjust the throttle valve (it is too open).

These are actually all the operations that are performed when adjusting the carburetor. If you were unable to do this the first time and the engine stalled, simply repeat the operation. You can check the setting this way: press the gas pedal all the way and lower it sharply. If the engine does not stall after this, but still produces the required speed, then everything is in order.

When adjusting using a gas analyzer, you need to rotate the mixture quality screw, observing the amount of CO. This is a rather complicated setting and is usually done in workshops, because it is necessary to ensure that the carbon monoxide content complies with GOST standards. However, it should be noted that in this way it is possible to adjust CO only at idle speed - the first measurement when passing a technical inspection at the traffic police. The second measurement, which is performed at engine speeds of 2000-3000 per minute, is slightly affected by this adjustment. The CO content at high speeds is determined not by the carburetor setting, but by the general condition of the engine and the quality of the fuel.

As you can see from the text above, adjusting the idle speed is not difficult, but it will require time, special tools and some skill if you want the carburetor to work really well.

At a minimum, you will have to open the hood and get your hands dirty. If you don't want to do this, then a great option is Uremont.com. This is a special aggregator of car services where you can place a request for the required operation, namely “carburetor idle adjustment.” Within a few minutes, you will begin to receive offers from service stations registered on this site, which received your application.

Troubleshooting

Car components do not last forever, and sometimes the installed Solex 21073 carburetor on the Niva fails. Repairing it must begin with diagnostics. It may be possible to get by with a simple adjustment. So, during operation, solid particles can enter the carburetor, which ultimately causes clogging of the jets. Low-quality gasoline leads to the formation of deposits on the walls of the channels in the device. This significantly reduces their cross section. Failure of carburetor systems can be diagnosed by the following symptoms:

• Increased fuel consumption.
• Difficulties in starting the engine. Reduced power and dynamic performance.
• Unstable operation at idle.

In this case, it is necessary to clean the installed Solex 21073 carburetor on the Niva. The adjustments that will be made after this will allow the device to work as it should again.

If not the valve, then what?

Dirt, low-quality fuel, malfunction of the ignition system - all this separately and in the compartment can affect the idle speed disappearing or becoming unstable. If you have already decided to carry out a full diagnosis, then start with the filters - air and fuel.

If they are heavily clogged, then gasoline or air (these are the main components of the air-fuel mixture) will not enter the carburetor normally. To be more precise, they will hit, but only after overcoming great resistance. And don't forget about the thimble-shaped filter that is installed at the inlet of the carburetor.

The solution is to replace all the filters and not have to worry anymore. But if this does not help, then you have many more faulty nodes. This means it’s time to look at the spark plugs (at the same time, remember how long ago you changed them). Unfortunately, a rare spark plug will last more than 30 thousand km.

And this is about a year and a half of operating the car in average mode. Unscrew the spark plugs, look at the carbon deposits, whether there is any and what color it is. With a long service life, the central electrode of the spark plug wears out and the gap increases as a result. Replace the spark plugs and check if the idle speed is stable.

Does it still stall at idle and not hold the revs? Then the ignition system remains. If you have a contact one, then check the gap in the breaker and set the optimal advance angle. If contactless, then diagnose the switch and Hall sensor.

These two elements fail more often than others. However, there is nothing more to break. Also inspect the condition of the high-voltage wires and, if necessary, remove moisture or dirt from them. The distributor cover should be without damage, and the resistance of the resistor in the slider should be about 5.5 kOhm.

Idle system

The device is equipped with an idle system. It is designed to allow the engine to operate at low speeds. At this moment, the vacuum in the diffusers is very small. Fuel cannot enter the main metering system. At idle speed of the engine, fuel is supplied under the throttle valve of the first chamber of the carburetor. There the vacuum is strong enough to form a stable combustible mixture.

Air is supplied through the main jet and the emulsion well of the first chamber. The fuel will then flow to the idle fuel jet. After this, it is mixed with air supplied from the XX air jet. Oxygen is supplied to this element through a special channel. This operating scheme allows the engine to ensure a smooth transition from load to idle and prevents fuel from leaking out of the float chamber.

How to restore carburetor operation

For repairs, most often you have to remove the device from the engine. First, remove the air filter. Then the fuel lines, air pipes, wires and cables are removed. then unscrew the fastening nuts.

It is best to disassemble the carburetor on a table or other convenient surface. The parts should be laid out in some order. This will help you not lose them. The process of adjusting the needle valve is performed using a special template. To wash the device, you must use special liquids. Replacement jets can be purchased at any auto stores. Often, disassembling and flushing the carburetor helps solve a lot of problems.

Main dosing systems

The first and second chambers are equipped with diffusers. There is one large and one small element. Spray devices are also made together with small diffusers. The latter are connected through channels to the emulsion wells, and they communicate through one channel with the float chamber. To ensure that gasoline flows in certain portions, the main fuel jets are located below in the emulsion wells. These same wells have special tubes. Each of them is equipped with an air jet at the top. Air is supplied to them from the neck of the device.

Regulations for adjusting the carburetor on the VAZ 21213

Any work related to the engine or power system on the VAZ 21213 should end with adjusting the carburetor parameters. After carrying out the above procedures, you should sequentially perform a number of settings:

1. Throttle valve actuators
2. Air damper drive
3. Trigger
4. Automatic starter
5. Idle systems
6. Exhaust CO and CH concentrations

Some adjustments can be performed both on the removed device and directly on the machine. In case of sagging or high tension in the throttle valve drive cable, use the adjusting nut to set the desired position, having first unscrewed the lock nut. It is worth checking the distance between the centers of the tie rod ends, it should be within 80 mm. As a result, when the accelerator pedal is fully pressed, the damper is completely open, and when the pedal is released, it is closed.

The air damper drive rod should move freely in the shell, and the lever should rotate around its axis without effort. The handle recessed all the way in the car interior corresponds to a fully open damper (vertical position). When pulling the handle, the area of ​​the chamber inlet must be blocked. Deviations from these requirements are eliminated by adjusting the fastening of the cable sheath or repairing the drive lever.

The next step is setting up the starting device. By forcefully opening the air damper by 1/3 with a screwdriver, you need to set the speed to 3200 - 3300. Then remove the screwdriver and use the adjusting screw to reduce the crankshaft speed to 2800-3100 rpm. At this point, the adjustment of the VAZ 21213 carburetor can be said to be almost complete.

Adjustment of the exhaust gas system and the concentration of hydrocarbons in the exhaust can be done in one step. After starting the engine, you need to use the quality screw to set the maximum possible idle speed. Next, use the quantity screw to reduce the speed so that it is 50-100 units higher than the normal idle speed. After this, use the quality screw to achieve the desired value.

High-quality tuning of the carburetor unit is available to a car enthusiast with basic knowledge of the principles of internal combustion engines and a minimum of tools.

Despite the fact that the VAZ-2121 SUV was developed quite a long time ago, this car is still very popular. In 1994, the model was changed to VAZ-21213. Many people buy these cars because of their high cross-country ability, which can be the envy of some jeeps from famous brands. Others like reliability, unpretentiousness and high maintainability. A simple design and excellent off-road characteristics made this vehicle a vehicle for lovers of travel, hunting, fishing and tourism.

Niva cars 211213 are equipped with a 1.7 liter engine. It is carburetor, and is based on a VAZ-2106 engine. There is also a five-speed manual transmission and a proximity ignition system. The power system is equipped with a Solex 21073 carburetor for the Niva. Many novice car owners are intimidated by carburetors and everything connected with them. But a carburetor is not a death sentence. You just need to understand its basic structure, how to adjust it, and how to repair it.

Float mechanism

The Solex 21073 carburetor, installed on the Niva, has a float chamber of two sections. They are located on both sides of the main cameras of the device. The system consists of two ebonite floats, which are mounted on a lever.

The latter swings on an axis pressed into the bosses of the device cover. There is a tongue on the bracket. The element presses the needle valve needle through a special ball. The float mechanism serves to adjust the level of fuel required for normal operation of the carburetor. The needle valve is a non-separable type. It is not being repaired. The valve body is mounted on a thread in the carburetor cap. The ball protects the needle from shock when the machine moves. If the chamber is empty (for example, if the driver is using LPG), then the floats will knock.

Features of electrical equipment

The electrical circuit of the VAZ model 21213 has certain differences with the model 2121, in particular:

1. 21213 vehicles use more modernized foot fuses in the fuse box. Of course, the use of such devices led to the fact that the block site also became different.
2. The power supply system of these vehicles additionally includes an idle speed saving device. For this option to work properly, another connector with wiring was added in the engine compartment.
3. Another difference is that these cars use a non-contact ignition circuit, the main element of which is a microcontroller.

It should be noted that differences in the Niva circuit may lie both in the generator units and in the electrics themselves.

Differences in generators

In any case, the differences in the wiring diagram of the models will primarily depend on the power unit - carburetor or injection.

The main differences in carburetors:

• models 21213 use the generator unit model 371.3701;
• in the engines of models 21214, the manufacturer decided to install a more powerful generator device; it is marked with the numbers 9412.3701 (video author - Sergei Chekhonin).

And although these generators are different, they have certain similarities in design. In any case, it is a synchronous AC device. In addition, these units have a built-in rectifier and output voltage regulation mechanism.

Wiring differences

If we talk directly about wiring, then depending on the car model, it may also have differences. It should be noted that these differences greatly simplify do-it-yourself maintenance and repair of the system. As for injection modifications of SUVs specifically, in this case the system is equipped with three outputs intended for installing electronic ignition.

In addition, 21214 cars use two ventilating devices that perform the function of cooling the radiator assembly. Accordingly, due to the use of additional fans, the wiring also underwent, albeit not significant, differences. Of course, they are not fundamental.

Which carburetor is better to install on a VAZ 21213 Niva with a 1700 engine

The best option for reducing fuel consumption on a Niva is to install a DAAZ 21083 carburetor. The “eight” carburetor has all the necessary characteristics that a 1.7 engine may require. If you are looking for an answer to the question of which carburetor to install on Niva 21213, then this is exactly what you need.

Carburetor DAAZ 21083

The only negative that may follow after such an installation is a decrease in throttle response of a carburetor engine due to a smaller throttle valve diameter of several mm. Also on carburetors 21083 the float has a small stroke. Installation can be done by yourself without outside help. Adjusting a new carb is also not difficult. The cost of this carburetor is not small - 6,290 rubles, but the quality of the parts and service life deserves respect.

When selecting carbs, there are several points to consider:

1. The DAAZ 21083 carburetor is not designed to fit the Niva manifold - it will have to be bored;
2. A new throttle control system is needed;
3. You will need a set of larger diameter fuel jets;

The manufacturer claims that Solex is correctly adjusted at the factory, but this statement is not always true. Problems with the engine power system unit arise not only due to its incorrect configuration, but also due to the negligence of the car owner himself. Ignoring recommendations on the frequency of replacing air and fuel filters leads to the fact that the most important mechanism in the engine power system refuses to work correctly. The goal to which all carburetor adjustment processes come down is to ensure stable operation of the power unit over the entire speed range. Adjusting the Solex carburetor comes down to part of the adjustment processes in the float chamber and adjusting the idle system. This is quite painstaking work that requires certain knowledge. The level should be within 25 mm in the chambers, but this may vary since the collector is not horizontal, so you should measure the value in the chambers and average it. If the level exceeds the norm, then use the float tongue to remove some of the gasoline and reassemble the mechanism in the reverse order. Then start the engine again and make observations. Gasoline should not leak from small diffusers, otherwise the appearance of fuel will indicate an overflow. There is no need to press the gas during the adjustment! You can adjust the Solex starting system both on an installed carburetor and on a dismantled one. In the first case, the adjustment comes down to determining the number of crankshaft revolutions, but with the carburetor removed, it is possible to adjust the starting system due to the gaps at the edge of the dampers. On the engine power system device removed from the vehicle, adjust the gap between the damper and the chamber wall - the gap should be 1.1 mm. Adjustment work is carried out using a wrench or screwdriver. More experienced and advanced car owners prefer to adjust the Solex by determining and setting the crankshaft speed. This method is faster, but also requires certain specific knowledge. This technique consists of the following:. Using a gas analyzer, you can also configure the starting system. The device measures the amount of carbon monoxide in gases. This procedure is necessary to ensure that the power unit operates stably and that the exhaust gases contain as few harmful substances as possible. In the garage, using your own efforts, all the work can be done using a tachometer. The motor is first brought to operating temperature, after which the adjustment itself is carried out directly. A similar procedure must be carried out several times until the engine begins to operate stably, and a minimum amount of vacuum in the tube is observed. Correct tuning of Solex will allow the car owner to enjoy high-quality, and most importantly, trouble-free engine operation. Experts recommend adjusting the idle speed twice a year. Thus, it is possible to achieve significant fuel savings and the emission of a minimum amount of harmful substances into the atmosphere, plus, a properly adjusted engine power system mechanism will significantly save personal funds on the services of service stations.
