Wikipedia
Carburetor
A carburetor (also spelled carburettor or carburetter) is a device used by an internal combustion engine to control and mix air and fuel entering the engine. The primary method of adding fuel to the intake air is through the Venturi tube in the main metering circuit, however various other components are also used to provide extra fuel or air in specific circumstances. Since the 1990s, carburetors have been largely replaced by fuel injection for cars and trucks, however carburetors are still used by some small engines (e.g. lawnmowers, generators and concrete mixers) and motorcycles. Diesel engines have always used fuel injection instead of carburetors.

carburetor
A carburetor is a mechanical device in internal combustion engines that mixes air with a fine spray of liquid fuel to produce a combustible mixture for ignition. It regulates the ratio of air and fuel, and controls the engine's speed. The carburetor is typically found in older or classic cars, small engines like lawnmowers and motorcycles, as modern vehicles usually use fuel injection technology.
