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).

Word origin

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 clean a carburetor on a briggs and stratton lawn mower?
Q. I have a briggs and stratton lawn mower. I've owned for about a year. It has never started easily, and now will not start at all. I am guessing that the carburetor needs to be cleaned. Can anyone provide instructions specifically for briggs and stratton lawn mowers (not sure of the model, bought it last year for about $140) regarding how to remove and clean the carburetor, and what the other causes may be?

A. Check and see if gas is in the carburetor bowl. If not the check valve is stuck a common problem with gunk build up. When you have it upside down it's under the float. Take the float off and get to it. The check valve is held with small wire parts so take your time and remember how it is held in place. You do have to put it back the same way you found it. Before I did anything I would check for spark. Then I would pull the plug out and put two teaspoons of gas in the engine. Put the plug back and it will start and run most of the time. Only do that on a cold engine for your safety.

A. That's a mighty ambitious project. If you are in the US it is also illegal - the EPA has some really draconian penalties for changes to the fuel and emission systems like that, including serious prison time.
