Those are called "carburetors" and very nice ones made by Mikuni. They mix fuel and air together that then provides the combustive mixture for the spark plugs to ignite in the combustion chambers of the engine head. When that happens, it drives each piston back down the cylinder and this motion pushes on the crank, making it move rotationally very quickly.

I weep for the future when people do not honor our cars' heritage.

An excellent trivia question is this: What was the last production car sold in the US with a carburetor?
