Founded as The Tillotson Mfg. Co. in 1914 in Toledo, Ohio, we first manufactured float carburetors for the burgeoning automotive industry. We grew along with the automotive industry, becoming one of the best-known carburetor manufacturers. In the late 1940âs, we revolutionized the handheld engine industry with the first diaphragm carburetors.
A carburetor (American and Canadian spelling), carburator, carburettor, or carburetter (Commonwealth spelling) is a device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine. It is sometimes colloquially shortened to carb in North America or carby in Australia.To carburate or carburet (and thus carburation or carburetion, respectively) is to blend the air and fuel or to equip (an engine) with a carburetor for that purpose.Carburetors have largely been supplanted in the automotive industry by fuel injection.o ensure a ready mixture, the carburetor has a float chamber (or bowl) that contains a quantity of fuel at near-atmospheric pressure, ready for use. This reservoir is constantly replenished with fuel supplied by a fuel pump.
