Are carburetor and throttle the same?

No, carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline with air under the vacuum generated by engine operation. As a precise mechanical device, carburetor uses the kinetic energy of inhaled airflow to atomize gasoline. Its important role in the engine can be called the "heart" of the engine. Its complete device should include starting device, idling device, medium load device, full load device and accelerating device. The carburetor will automatically match the corresponding concentration and output the corresponding amount of mixed gas according to the requirements of different working conditions of the engine. In order to mix the mixture evenly, the carburetor also has the function of atomizing fuel for the normal operation of the machine.

Throttle is a controllable valve, which is used to control air to enter the engine. After entering the intake pipe, it is mixed with gasoline (different models of cars have different design mixing parts) to become combustible mixture, which participates in combustion and does work. Four-stroke gasoline engines are generally like this. Throttle is the most important component in EFI automobile engine system. Its upper part is the air filter, and the lower part is the engine block, which is the throat of the automobile engine. Whether the acceleration of a car is flexible is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle. Whether the throttle should be removed for cleaning is also the focus of discussion among car owners.
