Why do you use the carburetors?

Carburetors are used on engines not equipped with fuel injection. Almost all small engines, such as lawnmowers, generators, and other small engine applications use carburetors. Carburetors are used to mix fuel and air in the proper ratio and channel it to the intake manifold of the engine. It is then sucked into each cylinder where the fuel air mixture is burned.

Most primer equipped carburetors use a diaphragm equipped with flapper valves in between the primer and carb.

Most primer system failures are due to this diaphragm being torn, pinched shut, inflexible, etc.
