agree Manuel Waldvogel: correct; but I would circumscribe it by saying "Einstellung des Vergasers" or "Einstellung des Vergasergemischs" etc. cause when you ard doing this to your motorcyle etc. you say "Ich habe das Gemisch/den Vergaser etwas magerer/fetter eingestellt"

agree Manuel Waldvogel: yep; see my comment above; and making the Gemisch magerer reduces fuel consumption so they will fly farther...

disagree Manuel Waldvogel: 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.

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.

Sorry, I meant to disagree to the \"Vergasung\" above.
