An enrichener is a specific fuel-delivery circuit in a carburetor designed to provide a richer air-fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. Unlike a traditional choke that restricts incoming air to increase the fuel ratio, an enrichener opens a separate passage to dump additional raw fuel directly into the intake tract.
