Abstract
A diaphragm carburetor for an internal combustion engine has a carburetor housing having an intake channel with a venturi section. A plate valve is positioned in the intake channel. A fuel outlet valve is mounted in the venturi section. A fuel-filled control chamber is provided and delimited at one side by a diaphragm. A fuel supply channel is connected to the control chamber. A supply valve is mounted in the fuel supply channel and actuated by the diaphragm. A first fuel channel connects the control chamber and the fuel outlet valve. At least one fixed main throttle is mounted in the first fuel channel for fixedly determining a fuel flow cross-section to the fuel outlet valve. A lever is provided for actuating the valve plate. An adjustable stop cooperates with the lever. The flow cross-section of the intake air is adjusted by the stop to a desired air/fuel ratio and is changeable, in a limited range, in a direction of increasing the flow cross-section.
