peer agreement (net): +1putaran mesin tidak stabil Explanation: If an engine ‘hunts’ it means it ‘does its own thing’, ie speeds up or slows down without the operator/driver adjusting the throttle setting, as in the following sentence: “Some troubles that may cause an engine to hunt, or vary its rpm at constant throttle setting …” Reference: http://www.tpub.com/content/engine/14076/css/14076_87.htm |

19 hrs confidence:
kecepatan putar motor mesin akan naik turun secara periodik Explanation: Karena disebut "engine" (pasti memiliki motor) sedikit beda dengan "machine" atau (belum tentu memiliki motor) walaupun dalam indonesianya tidak dibedakan engine dan machine ya mesin itu juga in electrical engineering, is a periodic increase or decrease in the speed of synchronous machinery operating in parallel, such as generators or motors (Merriam Webster) |
