I believe all of the Merlin engines used Carburettors. The earlier ones suffered from fuel starvation in negative G. Might be interesting to read about a lady called Tilly Shilling.
most of the merlin engines used carbs. but not all of them have a direct fuel line from the gas tank to the engine so when pushing - g's it would dry up.

Can you explain to me what a Carburettor is?

  A carburetor (American spelling), carburettor, or carburetter (Commonwealth spelling) is a device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine.

     I think he's unaware of the Bendix pressure carb, thinking of only the original float carburetor.

Yes I appreciate a definition can be easily found. I was looking for a demonstration of understanding.

I really don't see a reason for mocking Phanboi for pointing you in the right direction to learn something.  Instead of posting really stupid pictures, you could have clicked on the link and learned the Spitfire Mk I had a floating carb which is why the engine would cut out at negative Gs and that later fighters didn't have a similar carb system.  I guess it's far easier to remain young and stupid instead of young and smart.

Skorpion, I hope you notice that half of your posts are either pointless pictures or smilies. It's funny once in a while, but when you do it constantly, it gets annoying and redundant.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Spitfires: poor average pilot quality, and a complete lack of difficulty to fly in combat

109's: Power, verticle preformance, and a relativly high-quality pilot

262: speed an augers

P-51: speed and picks

P-47: takes a lot of damage
