My boss (king of this topic) explained how a carb worked to one of our younger techs and being like a toilet. While very simplified, he isn’t wrong. I just found that very entertaining.

Carbs are not magical, they just take patience and learning.

Yes, Carbs are great and you should be punished.

I hate chokes. I hate flooded carbs. I hate having to re-jet just because I drive to a different altitude.

Oh, I remember them.
Chokes, especially automatic ones.
Cutting out when cold.
Following a carburettored car in cold weather and inhaling the unburned hydrocarbons

I don’t mind them. Not as nice as a Weber by any means, but I can tune most Solexes with a pocket screwdriver and nothing more. Pain in the butt when the throttle shafts wear out or the bases warp though.

Anything involving the Bernoulli principle is magical by definition. Just because you can learn it doesn’t mean it’s not magic, just ask Hermione.

Well I am saying it can be understood, where the the automatic transmission is black magic and inconceivable.

Transmissions are easy. Carbs are just incomprehensible magic air/fuel toilets.

Should work great at all times if you have the right size for your motor.

Rebuilding one wasn't that hard but it was easily one of the most stressful projects I've done

My boss has 6 4 barrels that he friend dropped off to try and make one good working carb out of them. Lol. He can totally do it, it is just funny.

Idk much about carbs, but the quadrajets have problems with pieces warping from people over tightening screws so that makes some sense lol

Do you also hate puppies and sunrises? Because that’s what I’m hearing.

Yes, sunrises exasperate my hang over.

Yup, people are 90% the problem with carbs.
