a: Dashpot ~
b: a shock absorber for the throttle linkage
What: "Dashpot is like a shock absorber for the throttle linkage. It slows the throttle closing speed when you let off the gas, reduces backfiring and emissions. It is spring loaded, and has an air bellows inside with a check valve and filter on the vent line. Make sure it moves freely, filter not clogged and it should work fine."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
