The functions of a carburetor are as follows: 1. Utilize the kinetic energy of the incoming air stream to atomize gasoline. 2. According to the different working conditions of the engine, automatically mix the corresponding concentration and output the corresponding amount of air-fuel mixture. To ensure the mixture is uniform, the carburetor also has the effect of atomizing the fuel for the normal operation of the engine. Here is an introduction to carburetors: 1. Carburetors are divided into simple carburetors and complex carburetors. They can also be categorized as downdraft and sidedraft carburetors. Based on the throttle type, carburetors can be further classified into rotary and slide types. 2. A rotary throttle is a disc-shaped throttle that rotates around an axis, located between the carburetor throat and the intake pipe, to change the flow area of the intake passage. A slide throttle is constructed as a barrel or plate-shaped throttle that moves up and down at the throat to alter the passage area. This type is commonly used in motorcycle carburetors. There is also a hybrid type of carburetor that combines both forms, where the rotary throttle is manually controlled and the slide throttle is controlled by a diaphragm. This is often used in motorcycles and is called the CV type.
