0 the part of an engine that mixes fuel and air, producing the gas that is burned to provide the power needed to operate the vehicle or machine --
There has been much criticism in many quarters in this country of our policy of using carburettors instead of injection mechanism.
At this moment that future may depend on so relatively small a thing, as a carburettor or the pitch of a propeller.
In that way they have, to a very large extent, overcome the problem of ice in the carburettor.
The engines were not interchangeable and neither were the carburettors.
Had we the mechanics ready to do small adjustments to things like magnetos, carburettors and oiled plugs?
Let us suppose, for the sake of example, the case of carburettors, although that does not happen to be one.
Supposing somebody wishes to fit a different type of carburettor in a car.
That happens because of carburettor icing, a problem of which aviators also have experience.
