Buick Century carburetors can have one, two, or four barrels, four-barrel system employ the first two barrels for low velocity, the secondaries open at high load. Fixed venturi and variable venturi carburetors have been some of the carburetors used by Buick as part of the parts of some of the past models of Buick Century. These design made them to contain some devices such as accelerator pumps and choke plates to vary the air fuel mixture in these various situations such as cold starting and for instances when the car has to accelerate very quickly.

Before making any adjustments, one should verify that the engine is warms up, then tighten the carburetor mounting nuts and intake manifold bolts, make sure the manifold heat valve is not stuck and then perform choke, idle speed and mixture adjustments. Curb idle and mixture settings determine the fast idle speed which is set automatically.

The intermediate choke rod adjustments can be carried out by placing the coil lever against a drill bit placed in the choke housing. Vacuum brakes adjustment means having to apply vacuum to the diaphragm, and check the choke valve clearance. Adjustments of auxiliary vacuum brakes come close to these and the adjustment of the choke unloader require measurement of clearance when the throttle is wide open. Float level and drop measurements must be correct for proper performance and accelerator pump has adjustments for the rod to ensure correct pump operation. Next, the bowl vent valve must be set sought after to open at the right idle speed. For specific models, configurations, and settings, use may be needed to set adjustments of versions of float level and fast idle, Choke Valve Position. The Rochester Quadrajet carburetor is two-stage with first and second venturi and with fast idle, choke rod, specially vacuum-breaks and the second throttle plates.
