Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized technical job that disassembles, inspects, cleans, assembles, and adjusts carburetors in automobiles and small engines to ensure proper air-fuel mixture.
Description
Carburetor repair workers specialize in maintaining and repairing carburetors used in internal combustion engines for automobiles, motorcycles, generators, and similar equipment. They disassemble carburetors to check for wear or clogs in parts, and clean them using ultrasonic or chemical methods. They replace and adjust precision parts such as jets and needle valves, and use bench test equipment to measure air-fuel flow and pressure to set optimal values. After repair, they install the carburetor on an actual vehicle or test engine to verify performance. Work follows technical manuals and service books, requiring high precision by hand.
Future Outlook
Demand for carburetors has decreased due to fuel injection in automobiles, but repair needs for vintage vehicles, motorcycles, and small engines (generators, lawn mowers) remain strong, requiring expertise in niche fields.
