Why carburetor is necessary in petrol engine?
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.
Why will a small engine start but will not run?
Most of the time when a small engine cranks over, starts and then dies shortly afterward the problem is in the fuel system. Normally it is caused by bad gas that has gummed up the fuel system. (normally in the carburetor) If this is the problem you will probably need to take the carburetor off and clean it out.
Idle Screw On A 5.7 V8 350?
If it is a fuel injected engine then you can not adjust the idle, it is computer controled. There is no idle adjustment. If it is a carburetor then there is a small screew over by the throttle cable, down towards the bottom of the carburetor.

What is the purpose of carburetor?
The main purpose of the carburetor is to control the mixture of fuel vapor and air that goes into the engine. The carburetor changes this ratio depending on the car's situation. It puts in a small amount of a very rich fuel mixture when the engine is cold and running at idle. With the throttle plate closed and air limited because of the closed choke plate, engine suction is amplified. More fuel is provided when the gas pedal is depressed for acceleration.
Can a car engine power a jet fighter?
No. they are two different engine types. A car engine might be used to propel a small airplane with a prop if you could solve cooling issues and keep the carburetor from icing but a jet engine is totally and completely different.
Why is my 14 hp Briggs Stratton engine backfiring through the carburetor?
I have the same problem and I am going home to fix it this afternoon. The intake valve is not sitting perfectly tight against valve seat (block opening). It is slightly open when the plug fires it will create a small back fire through the carburetor I can only guess that the engine will run rough sorta when this happen. it is getting a little explosion in the cylinder, enough to stroke the piston, but will let some of the explosion be through the carburetor Take the head off and clean the area where the valve stem sits against the head. once clean, apply some toothpaste in this seat area and put the valve stem back in place and rotate back and forth to "polish" this seat area. do this for about 30 seconds. clean off the toothpaste and reinstall valve, spring, keeper, and head. make sure head bolts are tight. p.s. make sure that the valve is fully seated when the spring and keeper are installed, to make sure the valve is closed tightly to prevent any explosion bypass. God bless.
1982 Honda cb900 custom and it backfires when you let of on the throttle what causes this?
I have the same bike, same year. First I'd say, is it really backfiring (small explosions in the tailpipes) or more "popping" when you let off the gas? I think backfires might be more common on giving an engine gas, not letting up... Mine was popping (which I originally referred to as 'backfiring', as well), and the diagnoses was that the engine was running lean, and when I had the carbs cleaned, it went away completely.
