A carburetor (American spelling) or carburettor (Commonwealth spelling) is a device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine. It was invented by Karl Benz before 1885 and patented in 1886. It is colloquially called a carb (in North America and the United Kingdom) or carby (chiefly in Australia).

The word carburetor comes from the French carbure meaning "carbide". Carburer means to combine with carbon. In fuel chemistry, the term has the more specific meaning of increasing the carbon (and therefore energy) content of a fuel by mixing it with a volatile hydrocarbon.

How do I determine if I have the right size carburetor?
Q. I have a Chevy 350 in a vehicle that I recently purchased, I know that it needs carburetor work, but before I rebuild the carburetor, I want to find out if it even has the right size of carburetor. What's the best/easiest way to determine the right carburetor for the engine?

A. holley has a carb sizer formula on their website. most likely anything 600-750 will do, closer to the 600 will be more like it. there are a lot of variables that need answered, but for the most part 600 is a safe bet.

Will tuning a carburetor soon become a lost art?
Q. I mean, with most new bikes coming out with EFI, I'm afraid that motorcycle mechanics will lose their "edge " when it comes to re-jetting carbs and new mechanics may never get taught how to properly set up the air-fuel mixtures for optimum carburetor perfomance. I guess it's kind of like finding a good barber. Once you find one you like, pray he never retires, at least while you still have hair on your head.

A. Yes, even now when I go to the shop and ask the kid for a jet, all I get is a blank look. Soon those tuning sessions and wrench-throwing fits will belong to the misty past. No longer will our hands stink of gasoline, no more skinned knuckles from trying to force the carb rack back onto a vfr750. There maybe a blister or two on our fingertips from tapping in new efi programs.
