A diaphragm-type carburetor includes a fuel well communicating with a lower end of a fuel nozzle, a constant-pressure fuel chamber communicating with the fuel well through an outlet bore, and a fuel pump incorporated in fuel passages defined between an inlet bore of the constant-pressure fuel chamber and a fuel tank. A fuel introduction control valve controls the introduction of fuel into the constant-pressure fuel chamber. The fuel introduction control valve includes a valve seat member which communicates at its lower end with the fuel well through a bypass passage extending above the constant-pressure fuel chamber. Thus, when fuel vapor is introduced into the constant-pressure fuel chamber, it immediately passes towards the fuel nozzle, whereby the extreme reduction in air-fuel ratio of a fuel-air mixture can be avoided.
A diaphragm carburetor comprising a constant-pressure fuel chamber having an outlet bore and an inlet bore, a fuel nozzle, a fuel jet and a check valve, said fuel chamber communicating with a lower end of said fuel nozzle through said fuel jet and check valve, a fuel passage communicating between said inlet bore in said constant-pressure fuel chamber and a fuel tank, a fuel pump communicating with said fuel passage for pumping fuel into said constant-pressure fuel chamber in response to a pulsation pressure from a pulsation pressure generating source, and a fuel introduction control valve for controlling the introduction of the fuel into said constant-pressure fuel chamber by opening and closing said inlet bore of said constant-pressure fuel chamber, said fuel introduction control valve having a cylindrical valve seat member mounted on an upper wall of said constant-pressure fuel chamber and having said inlet bore at an upper end thereof, and a valve member raised and lowered within said valve seat member for opening and closing said inlet bore, wherein
