how do engines work?

[3Dheliflyer]

one thing i was curious about is while watching finless bobs 600 nitro build ,.why does a tube have to go from the tank to the muffler? whats the reason behind that as the muffler is connected to the engine for the engine to realease its load after pumping.

The tube from the muffler transfers the positive pressure in the exhaust system to the fuel tank which then helps to 'push' the fuel through to the carb a bit more efficiently than without. Some engine systems (YS) use a different system which puts a lot more pressure into the tank than a muffler pressure, and then regulates the fuel input by some jiggery-pokery at the carb.

But at the end of the day, just plumb it in accordance with the engine manufacturer's instructions, and do the same with the needle tuning and running in, and guess what? I bet it will work just fine.
