atmospheric pressure
draws air/fuel through the carburetor
and into the cylinder
This drawing in of air takes gasoline
atoms with it creating an air fuel
mixture
Pressure differences
A carburetor
is a device that is
operated by pressure differences
These terms refer to those pressure
differences

to when
there is little space
in top of the engine
Air flows
horizontally into the
manifold
This type will be
the most common
on the small
engines that we
are working on.
Updraft Carburetor
Placed
low on an
engine
Use gravity feed
fuel supply
Air / Fuel Mixture
must be forced
upward into the
engine
Needs high air
pressure
Uses smaller
passages
Downdraft Carburetor
Operates
velocities
Uses larger passages
Gravity assists the air
fuel mixture flow into the
engine
Can provide large
volumes of fuel for high
speed and high power
operation
