Used prior to the introduction of fuel injection to mix the fuel & air at the proper mix for an internal combustion engine.
It has a Gardner diesel engine and was never fitted with a petrol
no
The air fuel ratio of the petrol engine is controlled by Carburetor
Pressure Die Casting
No, diesels can and do have them also.
The carburetor is normally found just above the engine, it controls the petrol and air mix prior to combustion. Fuel injected and diesel engines do not need a carburetor.
if your car is petrol and using a carburetor...means maybe the auto choke let in too much fuel into the engine....
not enough octane in your petrol. To stop the run on, turn your engine off while it is in Drive. Then switch to Park
Either a carburetor or a fuel injector.
It's not necessary if you have fuel injection. Any gas engine which does not have fuel injection, like most small equipment engines, uses a carburetor. The carburetor releases the fuel as a mist into air being drawn into the engine. That gets fuel and oxygen into the combustion chamber in a highly combustible condition.
There is no difference. Petrol is just another name for gasoline. MPFI just means Multi-Point Fuel Injection. A petrol (gasoline) engine can be MPFI or it can have a carburetor. It can have many different ways to get gasoline (petrol) to the cylinders.
It probably won't work effectively/efficiently unless it is re-jetted.
