What Is a Carburetor?
The carburetor has often been referred to as the “heart” of any vehicle and while it has largely been replaced these days by fuel injection systems, it is still to be found in older cars and in simpler mechanical devices, such as a chainsaw or a lawnmower. Briefly, this device helps to carefully gauge the amount of fuel and air to be introduced into the engine according to the specific needs of the motor at that time. If the carburetor is not correctly “set,” then the engine will run inefficiently, if at all, and this could also cause damage to the engine over the long term.
