Best Answer

No, starters start an engine. A carburetor supplies the fuel/air mixture to the engine. This mixture combined with a spark, ignites the fuel/air mixture thus causing the engine to run. This is a very simplistic explanation. Search "how the internal combustion engine works" for more information.
