Overview

In-game description
A high quality carburetor for a combustion engine. Mixes air and fuel to the proper ratio.

Top-tier engine parts belong in a car you plan to drive for days, not in one you leave by the road for whoever walks past. This one asks for a Level 3 workbench and 170 metal fragments, the most of any carburetor, and gives you the highest durability of the three at 140.

The game text calls it a high quality part that mixes air and fuel to the proper ratio, and leaves the rest to you. Players fit full high sets for engine power, and a long car on an engine module with several modules behind it is where that shows most. A two-seat cockpit with engine for short hops gains far less from the upgrade.

Watch out

Whatever sits in the engine leaves with the car. Park a high-tier car outside a monument while you loot, and the next roamer drives off with 170 fragments of carburetor plus the rest of the set.

Fit it together with the high quality crankshaft, which needs the same bench and costs less.
