Below is relevant information about carburetors: 1. Definition: A carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline with air under the vacuum generated by the engine's operation. 2. Working Principle: A carburetor is essentially a tube with an adjustable plate called a throttle valve in the middle to control the airflow through the tube. There is a constricted section in the tube called a venturi, where a vacuum is created. This constricted section has a hole through which fuel is drawn by the vacuum.
