What is a carburettor?
A carburettor is an essential element of your engine, and consists of a device which mixes fuel and air inside internal combustion engines in the correct ratio required for combustion. In order to ensure that fuel burns proper, gasoline engines are specifically designed to take in exactly the correct amount of air, regardless of whether the engine is running at top speed and is red hot, or if it is starting from a cold standstill.
It is important to get this crucial fuel to air mixture just right, and this is the job of the carburettor; a small tube which allows fuel and air into the engine, travelling through valves. It then mixes them together in varying amounts, to make sure that it is suited to a range of driving conditions: a very important piece of kit in your car.
Whether you prefer Italian Weber or Dellorto parts, or if budget is a consideration, there is sure to be something to suit your needs. As an added bonus, your choice is not only limited to carburettors; there are a range of tools and additional carburettor parts, ideal if the whole carburettor doesn't need replacing.
