rich mixture

rich mixture
A mixture of air and fuel in which there is less air and more fuel. See air-fuel ratio. The opposite is lean mixture. Also compare stoichiometric ratio. A slightly rich mixture generates the maximum achievable engine power, an overly rich mixture causes spark plug fouling, loss of engine power, and excessive fuel consumption. Any rich mixture increases exhaust emissions.
