Re: tachometer mystery?

Now what causes this:

On a car(gasoline engine anyway, i dont know much about deisels) the RPMs are adjusted by two different means depending upon whether u have Fuel Injection or Carbeuration:

FI- You adjust via the Go pedal how much air is allowed into the engine through a butterfly valve, the computer then determines how much fuel needs to be injected into the cylinders based on the pressure and amount of O2 in the air.

Carb- You adjust it via the go pedal but this time the butterfly valve and air are used to create a ventury(i think that is spelled right and this method is at least for all aoutomobile carbs that i have seen) which sucks the gasoline allong with the air into the cylinders.

When you add load to the engine it does not say to anything(at least not in most cars some fancy ones do this)"hey im underload gimme more powa'!!" instead the explosion in the chanber does not have enough force to continue at the same speed and the RPMs drop. More gas and Air = more Force explosion = faster RPMs.
