Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

disagree

Manolo6: even in a technical context I would try to avoid this word in a German text;and as the facts seem to be quite obvious (see my comment above) this term is not necessary

4 mins

-> Are you trying to insinuate something? The context is clear.

agree

Klaus Herrmann: Agree with Manolo6 - I'd be very careful with using "Vergasung" in German.

6 mins

-> Do you think we should eliminate this word from our vocabulary?

disagree

Sylvia Magotsch: Agree with Manolo and Klaus Herrmann, I would never ever use "Vergasung" in any context. But what about a circumscription like "mit einem speziellen Vergaser ausgestattet" to avoid details?

31 mins

-> I revoke my proposal! Simply ignore it. And let's get back to work.

30 mins confidence:

Vergaserbestückung

Explanation:
While Gemischbildung is a technically correct translation, I would not use it unless your target audience is group of mechanics. To the average person, Vergaserbestückung sounds more familiar.

Caveat: While carburetion covers carburetors and fuel injection systems, "Vergaserbestückung" does not include fuel injection. That's no problem with a B-25, though. They had carbs, not FI.

Vergaserbestückung covers the number and type of carburators as well as installing a different set of metering rods in a given carburetor, so you're fine on these two aspects, as well.

Vergaseranordnung is not a bad choice either. It does not really cover internal modifications of the carburetors, however.
