Carburetor arrangement

Abstract

A carburetor arrangement for an internal combustion engine in a manually guided implement, such as a power chainsaw, a cut-off machine, etc. is provided. A regulating chamber delimited by a regulating diaphragm is provided. Upon deflection of the diaphragm due to underpressure in the regulating chamber, the latter is connected with a fuel tank. Via at least one nozzle, the regulating chamber opens into an air channel that supplies fuel/air mixture to the engine. The carburetor arrangement includes a scavenging pump that is disposed in a return line from the regulating chamber to the fuel tank, and in which is formed a pump chamber. The scavenging pump serves to completely fill the regulating chamber with fuel before start-up of the engine. To prevent the fuel/air mixture from becoming too lean after start-up, especially upon opening of the choke valve, a supply line is provided from the pump chamber into the air channel and supplies additional fuel to the air channel during the run-up phase.
