Understanding Carburetor Functions and Components

The video tutorial explains the function and operation of carburetors, focusing on their role in mixing fuel and air for internal combustion engines. It covers the application of Bernoulli's principle, the components of carburetors, and how they control fuel and airflow. The tutorial also includes a detailed construction of a model carburetor, illustrating its operation and the importance of various components.

What is the primary function of a carburetor in an internal combustion engine?
