to the operation of the car engine. The car engine is a very complex piece of machinery.

It consists of a series of wires and different types of parts. The car engine is constantly

Without the float

chamber, the carburetor would be useless because the gasoline would just overflow. (Fuel)

The Venturi tube is one of the most common components, it is where air and

gasoline are mixed. The shape of the Venturi tube looks much like that of an hour glass.

The air cleaner cleans the air of dirt and other unwanted substances before it enters the

engine. There are many little jets that accept the gasoline from the float chamber. The

first jet, the pump jet, is located in the first wide section of the carburetor. The second jet

is the main jet. It releases gasoline into the narrow section of the Venturi tube. When the

tube widens back up, that is where the idle jet would be found. The decrease of the

pressure in the narrow part of the tube, creates a vacuum that sucks gasoline from the

main jet and into the Venturi. (Fuel)

The choke valve controls the amount of air that enters the carburetor. Between

the air cleaner and the Venturi tube is where the choke valve is located. When an engine

is cold, it needs more gasoline and less air. A warmer engine needs more air and less

gasoline. The choke valve controls all of that when the engine is cold or warm. The

throttle valve regulates the amount of fuel-air mixture that enters the intake manifold. The

throttle valve is located in between the main jet and the idle jet. The fuel tank is a tank
