is essentially a tube.

She has an adjustable plate across her tube called the throttle plate that controls how much air can flow through her tube.

You can see this circular brass plate in photo 1.

At some point in the tube there is a narrowing, called the venturi, and in this narrowing a vacuum is created.

The venturi is visible in photo 2

In this narrowing there is a hole, called a jet, that lets the vacuum draw in fuel.

You can see the jet on the left side of the venturi in photo 2.
