I can't see them not covering it.

Carburetors are pretty basic though.

In Ecuador they keep their cars alive forever. New cars here don't have carburetors they have
fuel injection and we've had them for so long that you rarely see a carburetor anymore. Your
brother should look for another mechanic in Ecuador who can teach him. It would have to be
cheaper than coming here and paying for school.

carbs depending on the type are all basic. the principle they work under is basic and simple. Try taking apart and rebuilding a Quadrajet, Dominator, or other high performance carbs apart and work on them. Even the relatively simple Rochester is more mechanically complicated compared to something like a throttle body, tuned port injection, or fuel rails. Fuel injection is only complicated do to the electronics portion. I personally have a 1986 Trans Am with a 4-barrel on a Chevy 305 and a 1995 GMC Sierra with a throttle body and the truck is much simpler to diagnose a fuel problem then the car is and easier to get and replace the parts.
