How Does a Carburetor Work? – Transparent Carburetor at 28,546 FPS

This video is super awesome, finally made an account + logged into desktop to say so. (!)

I studied eng, work as a swe, and also do-my-own engine work. Have never worked on a carb'd automotive vehicle, just some smaller marine 4 stroke outboards. I've always thought, when cleaning a carb., "I know what it does but not how it is done." This video makes it crystal clear - even seeing the float oscillating to the strokes.. - is so so cool.

There's even some solid music played during the slo-mo bits. Thanks for posting and cheers to the folks who made the video

The video is made by Destin, the Smarter Every Day guy. So, yeah, it's worth watching.

But with modern cars injecting fuel directly into cylinders, and with EVs just about here, carburetors are now closer to "history" than to "science". :-)

This is cool. We finally have verification. The Venturi doesn't suck the gasoline into the engine. Gravity feed (or fuel pump) pushes the fuel into the throttle body. Venturi causes the flow to must and properly mix. Which should be obvious because a stuck float bowl causes flooding.
