While basic carburetors have only one Venture, many carburetors have more than one Venturi, or "barrel". Two {barrel or clip|clip or barrel|gun barrel} and four barrel {designs are|configuration settings are|constructions are} commonly used {to support|to allow for|to allow} the higher air {circulation|movement|stream} rate with large engine displacement. Multi-barrel carburetors can have non-identical primary and secondary barrel(s) of different sizes and calibrated to deliver different air/fuel {mixes|blends|combos}; they can be actuated by the linkage or by engine vacuum in "progressive" fashion, so that the secondary barrels do not {commence|get started} to {open up|start} before the primaries are almost completely open. This kind of is a desirable {feature|attribute} which maximizes airflow through the primary barrel(s) at most engine speeds, {therefore|thus} maximizing the pressure "signal" from the Ventures, but reduces the restriction in airflow at high {rates of speed|rates} by adding cross-sectional area for greater airflow. {These types of|These kinds of} advantages {may well not|might not exactly} make a difference in high-performance applications where part throttle {procedure is} irrelevant, and the primaries and secondary's may all open at once, for simplicity and reliability; also, V-configuration engines, with two cylinder banks fed by a single carburetor, may be configured with two identical barrels, each {providing|offering|delivering} one cylinder bank. In the widely seen OF V8 and 4-barrel carburetor {mixture|blend|combo}, there are often two primary and two {supplementary|extra} barrels.
The first four-barrel carburetors, with two {main|major|principal} bores and two {supplementary|extra} bores, were the Carter WCFB and identical Rochester 4GC simultaneously introduced on the 1952 Cadillac's, Olds mobiles and Buick {Street|Highway} master. Oldsmobile referred the new carburetor as the "Quadri-Jet" (original spelling)[15] while Buick called it the "Airpower.
The spread-bore four-barrel carburetor first released by Rochester in the 1965 model {12 months|yr|season} as the "Quadra jet] has a much greater spread {between|involving the|between your} sizes of the primary and secondary throttle bores. The primaries in such a carburetor {are very|can be} small {comparative|comparable|relatives} to conventional four-barrel practice, while the second {occur are|come up are|happen are} quite large. The small primaries aid low-speed fuel economy and drive ability, while the large secondary's permit maximum performance when it is called for. To tailor {air flow|air movement} through the secondary Venturis, each of the {supplementary|extra} throats has an air valve {at the very top|towards the top|at the pinnacle}. This is configured much {just like a|such as a} choke plate, and is {gently|softly|casually} spring-loaded into the {shut|shut down|sealed} position. The air {control device|device|regulators} opens progressively in response to engine speed and throttle opening, {little by little|slowly but surely} allowing more air to {stream|move} through the secondary {part|aspect|area} of the carburetor. Commonly, the air valve is linked to metering {fishing rods|supports|equipment} {that are|which can be|that happen to be} raised as the air valve opens, {therefore|thus} adjusting secondary fuel {circulation|movement|stream}.
Multiple carburetors can be mounted on {just one|an individual} engine, often with progressive {cordons|entrave|cordon}; two four-barrel carburetors (often referred to as "dual-quads") were frequently seen on {top rated|high end|powerful} American V8s, and multiple two barrel carburetor {in many cases are|tend to be|are usually} now seen on {high|quite high|extremely high} performance engines. {Huge|Significant} numbers of small carburetor have also been used (see photo), though this configuration can limit the maximum {air-flow|ventilation} through the engine {because of the|as a result of} lack of a common plenum; with individual intake tracts, {not every|only a few|only some} cylinders are drawing air at once as the engine's crankshaft rotates.
