Abstract
Interchangeable venturi sleeves are removably positioned in open-ended bores of a carburetor center section. Each of the sleeves is colored a particular color corresponding to the physical parameters of the sleeve, for example, inner diameter and shape. Similarly, base plates and metering blocks of different capacities are provided such that the operating parameters of the carburetor can be changed. Like the venturi sleeves, the base plates and metering blocks are color-coded to indicate their physical parameters. With this color-coding, the observer can quickly and easily determine the physical characteristics of the carburetor.
