The basic principle of the most vehicles on either in land, air or water is mixing fuel and air. Cars, trucks, jet engines, and motorcycles mixed fuel and air to become power and burn in cylinders inside the engine. The amount of fuel and air that enters the engine varies from time to time, depending on the time running, speed, and other factors. However, modern vehicles use and electronic devices to control the amount of air and fuel that enters the system called fuel injection
Carburetor was invented by an Italian, Luigi de Cristoris on 1876. After a few years, Karl Benz made his own carburettor when he developed the first automobile run by internal combustion. As some inventors have a brush-type atomizers and the wick carburetor, the float-type carb is the head of them all. In the late 1920s the jet-compensated carburetor this design evolved, which is the first modern carburetors .

The piston would then create a low pressure area below the throttle. concentrated at the edge of the throttle valve as the air passes the idle port Engine idle speed is set by two different adjustments. The amount of fuel is adjusted by the mixture adjustment screw at the idle port.
The amount of air is adjusted by changing the throttle stop screw.
Second-stage idling starts as the throttle valve opens. This is similar to idle, but with the low-speed port uncovered. Both ports discharge fuel to mix with incoming air. Low-speed ports help the transition from idling, to low-speed, to high speed.
Throttle valve
A device that controls the flow of fuel and the power the engine makes. Sometimes a throttle valve is reffered to as a butterfly. As the gas pedal is depressed, the throttle opens allowing more air and fuel to enter the combustion chamber and resulting to more power. In a fuel injection system, this valve controls the flow of air only as the vehicle's on-board computer regulates the fuel
