The purpose of a carburetor is to mix just the right amount of gasoline with air for the engine to run properly. If there is not enough fuel mixed with air, the engine "shifts" and will not operate or damage the engine. If there is too much fuel mixed with air, the engine "runs rich" and will not run (floods), runs very smoky, runs poorly (gets stuck, stops easily), or at least spends fuel. The carb is in charge of getting the mixture right.
A carburetor (American English) or carburetor (British English, see spelling differences) is a device that combines air and fuel for an internal combustion engine in the proportion appropriate for combustion. It is sometimes coloquially shortened to carb in the UK and North America or carby in Australia. A carburet or carburet (and therefore carburetion or carburetion, respectively) is to mix the air and fuel or to equip (a motor) with a carburetor for that purpose. A burette or burette is a device for accurately measuring liquids. Carburetors have been largely supplanted in the automotive industry and, to a lesser extent, in fuel injection aviation. They are still common in small engines for lawn mowers, rototillers and other equipment.
