carburettors
Air-fuel mixing chambers
Carburettors are devices in internal combustion engines that mix air with fuel before it enters the cylinders.
The spelling with double t is British; Americans write carburetor.
Electronic fuel injection has largely replaced carburettors in modern vehicles, though they remain common in small engines like lawnmowers and older motorcycles.
Often shortened to carb: The carb needs adjusting.
