A Temu carburetor gets an engine-dyno exam on MotorTrend

Five new uploads range from a budget-parts test to BMW's M760 reveal and Tesla Roadster stunts.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Unbox it, assemble it, install it, then put it on the engine dyno: MotorTrend's biggest new upload took an inexpensive online purchase beyond the product listing.

"We Bought a $100 Carburetor on TEMU—Does It Actually Work?" has drawn about 46,000 views and is also the channel's busiest upload by daily views. The description lays out a hands-on test, while the comments suggest viewers want the investigation to continue inside the carburetor itself. Several ask for a teardown; another proposes comparing dimensions and airflow with a 3D scan. Those are requests for a closer look, not a settled diagnosis of what went wrong.

The carburetor received a second, separately posted upload with a shorter title. Elsewhere, "BMW M760 Reveal" offered a new-car detour, and two Tesla Roadster uploads brought flips and event stunts to the shelf. The Roadster description points to a carbon-fiber-wrapped pressure vessel and cold-gas thrusters, quite a change of engineering vocabulary from carburetor passages and idle circuits.

MotorTrend's subscriber count held at seven million over the week, while daily viewing stayed close to its usual level. Among nearby motoring channels, Donut is having a particularly active day, with views more than double its typical pace. MotorTrend's week is smaller in scale, but its clearest talking point is pleasingly mechanical: viewers want that budget carburetor taken apart.
