Abstract

The invention is directed to a carburetor for an internal combustion engine and includes an intake channel having a throttle flap mounted therein. Fuel passes from a fuel-filled control chamber via channels to main and idle nozzles through which the fuel enters the intake channel. The maximum permissible fuel quantity must be adjusted during a test run be means of an adjusting screw. This value can be changed by an operator. The maximum flow cross section for the fuel throughput is limited by at least one fixed throttle to which the main nozzle and the idle chamber are connected at the downstream end. In this way, strict exhaust-gas limit values are maintained. An adjustable throttle is provided with the aid of which the entire flow cross section can be reduced up to a pregiven minimum value. The carburetor described above is especially suitable for two-stroke engines of portable handheld work apparatus.
