Basics of Carburetor Operation

The basic secret of carb function is that inside each carb are thousands
of tiny gnomes; each with a small bucket. As you open the throttle, more
of these gnomes are allowed out of their house and into the float bowl, where
they fill the buckets and climb up the carb's passages to the intake, where
they empty their buckets into the air stream.

But, if you don't drive your car for a while, bad things can happen. Tiny
bats take up residence in the chambers of the carb, and before long the passages
are plugged up with guano. This creates a gnome traffic jam, and so not enough
bucketfuls of fuel can get to the engine. If it gets bad enough, the gnomes
simply give up and go take a nap. The engine won't run at all at this point.
Sometimes you'll have a single dedicated gnome still on the job, which is
why the car will occasionally fire as the gnome tosses his lone bucket load
down the intake.

There has been some research into using tiny dwarves in modern carbs. The
advantage is that unlike gnomes, dwarves are miners and can often re-open
a clogged passage. Unfortunately, dwarves have a natural fear of earthquakes,
as any miner should. In recent tests, the engine vibrations caused the dwarves
to evacuate the Holden V8 test vehicle and make a beeline for the nearest
BMW dealership. Sadly, BMW's are fuel injected and so the poor dwarves met
an unfortunate end
in the rollers of a Bosch fuel pump.

Other carb problems can also occur. If the level of fuel in the float bowl
rises too high, it will wipe out the poorer gnome housing in the lower parts
of the carb. The more affluent gnomes build their homes in the diaphragm
chamber, and so are unaffected. This is why the car is said to be "running
rich".

If the fuel bowl level drops, then the gnomes have to walk farther to get
a bucketful of fuel. This means less fuel gets to the engine. Because
the gnomes get quite a workout from this additional distance, this condition
is known as "running lean".

The use of the device known only as the 'choke' has finally been banned by
PETG (People for the Ethical Treatment of Gnomes) and replaced by a new carb
circuit that simply allows more gnomes to carry fuel at once when the engine
needs to start or warm up. In the interests of decorum, I prefer not to explain
how the 'choke' operated. You would rather not know anyway.

So, that's how a carburetor works. You may wish to join us here next week
for basics of electricity, or "How your car creates cold fusion inside the
alternator, and why the government doesn't want you to know about it."
