Mitsubishi Carburetors FAQ

The carburetor in your Mitsubishi is part of its engine and fuel system. Most carburetors, you see in older models; these days, they've been replaced by fuel injectors. What one does is mix fuel and air together in the proper ratio and send it into the engine cylinders via the intake manifold.

How Does a Carburetor Work?

It starts with the engine, which creates a vacuum. The throttle opens and closes, allowing just the right amount of air to enter the engine through a narrow opening called a venturi. The latter enables the carburetor to draw gas from a float chamber through a jet, where it can mix with the air; as the throttle opens, more air gets drawn into the engine, and so more fuel, which means more power.

Smaller motors often use a single carburetor with a single jet, while large motors can use up to twelve jets. Multi-barrel carburetors, on the other hand, enable even more air and fuel to enter the cylinders, and some engines even have multiple carburetors -- for example, older sports cars, which could have one carburetor per cylinder.

What are the Signs the Carburetor in My Mitsubishi is Bad?

They include sluggish acceleration, reduced engine power, worsening gas mileage, black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, engine misfires, overheats, and trouble starting.

How Much Does Carburetor Replacement Cost on Average?

Usually, anywhere from $500 to $1,000 or more; it can vary by model, and other engine or fuel system repairs can factor in, as can having parts replaced by a Mitsubishi dealer.
