👉 A carburator is a component of an internal combustion engine that allows for the injection of fuel into the cylinder. The fuel, which is typically made up of hydrocarbons such as gasoline or diesel, is injected at a high pressure and temperature to create a combustible mixture known as an oxidizer. This mixture is then ignited by a spark plug or other ignition source, resulting in the combustion of the fuel causing it to burn and produce heat and steam. The carburator can be designed
