    (57) A carburetor assembly which has a body (12) formed of extruded aluminum and a plastic fuel bowl assembly (14) secured to the body by means of a resilient spring clip (16). A gasket (13) is located between the body and the fuel bowl. The fuel bowl is molded of plastic and includes an integral well (68), and a mixing screw housing as well as a primer housing. A plastic nozzle (18) extends from the well through the venturi insert into a through passage (20) in the body. The venturi insert (22) is made of plastic material and includes molded grooves (28, 30) therein which form passages with the through passage of the body. The nozzle is resiliently urged against the gasket and the body by means of a spring (70) located in the well thereby sealing the nozzle to the body.
