What Is A Carburetor?

A carburetor is a device that is responsible for mixing air and fuel for internal combustion in certain engines. One of the main functions of the carburetor is to meter and supply the correct air-fuel mixture that is required from the vehicle's engine at any given time. In a carburetor system, the air flows through what is known as a venturi, creating a vacuum drawing fuel from the fuel jet.

While most modern vehicles have replaced the carburetor with a fuel injection system, there are some older model vehicles that still use the carburetor. At Bay Hundred Automotive, our team of skilled technicians recommends servicing carburetors annually, provided that the vehicle operates in optimal condition.

Cleaning the carburetor is a lengthy and extensive process that requires attention to detail and unique knowledge. The carburetor cleaning process involves disconnecting and removing the carburetor and soaking it in a specialized solution to remove build up and deposits.

If you begin to notice a decrease in fuel economy or rough idling, these could be symptoms of a faulty carburetor. Other potential signs include stalling, hesitation at acceleration and more.
