Carburetor (Automotive)

Device that mixes air with fuel, delivering the mixture into the engine's combustion chambers. Only found on older vehicles. By the mid-1980s, new emissions standards led to the use of fuel-injection systems, which do not require frequent adjustment.

Carburetor (Drugs)

Crack stem attachment Care bears -- Methylenedioxymethampehtamine (MDMA)

Carburetor (Energy)

A fuel delivery device for producing a proper mixture of gasoline vapor and air and for delivering it to the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine. Gasoline is gravity-fed from a reservoir bowl into a throttle bore, where it is allowed to evaporate into the stream of air being inducted by the engine. Also see Diesel Fuel System and Fuel Injection.

Carburetor (Import Cars)

A pressure differential device mounted on the intake manifold fo an engine that mixes the air and fuel in the proper porportions to allow even combustion

Carburetor (Motorcycles)

A mechanical device found on the intake side of the engine which mixes fuel and air to create the volatile mixture that gets ignited in the engine.

Carburetor (Remote Control Cars)

Called "carb" for short. The mechanism on an engine that controls the ratio of fuel and air that enters the engine. There are different types of carburetors:
Barrel Carburetor: the standard model engine carburetor, carried over from airplane engines when they were adapted for car use. For most hobbyists and racers this type of carburetor is fine, because it is simple to install and adjust. The throttle servo turns a "barrel", which has a hole through it, and this controls the amount of air going into the engine. A needle valve on the carburetor controls the amount of fuel going into the engine.
Slide Carburetor: a highly modified, car-specific type of carb that has the barrel of the carb slide along its axis, instead of turning. This provides a quicker response at the expense of a complicated set-up procedure. This type of carb will benefit a small number of racers and is not suggested for casual hobbyists. Two or three needle valves control the fuel intake at different RPM ranges.
