Abstract

The invention relates to a membrane carburetor for an engine of a motor-driven chain saw. The membrane carburetor has a fuel-filled control chamber delimited by a control membrane. A throttle flap is mounted in an intake channel and a main nozzle opens into the intake channel upstream of the throttle flap. The main nozzle opening is connected to the control chamber via a fuel channel and a fixed nozzle limiting the inflowing fuel-mass flow. In order to make the mixture composition controllable, an air-supply channel opens into the fuel channel and a control valve is mounted in the air-supply channel. The control valve can be adjusted by a positioning device in dependence upon engine operating data. The positioning device is actuated by a control apparatus.
