A carburetion system for supplying a fuel-air mixture to an internal combustion engine in a manner maintaining a desired ratio of fuel-to-air under varying conditions of operation to improve fuel economy and minimize the emission of pollutants. The system includes a carburetor having a tubular variable-Venturi structure whose effective cross-sectional areas are circular or annular, the converging inlet to the throat of the Venturi and the diverging outlet thereof having a configuration free of discontinuities regardless of the effective throat area. The Venturi areas and throat are varied by a control motor as a function of air flow that changes with engine demand. The fuel fed into the carburetor at the varying throat is metered by a valve whose effective orifice is varied by the motor concurrently with the change in Venturi throat area to maintain the desired ratio.
