Abstract
A membrane carburetor (1) for an internal combustion engine includes a control chamber (2) delimited by a membrane. The control chamber (2) is connected via a feed line (8) to a fuel tank (9). The feed line (8) is cleared with the deflection of the membrane (3) because of underpressure in the control chamber (2). The control chamber (2) is connected via at least one intake opening (16, 17) with an air-intake channel (14) to the engine. As start-assist devices for the engine, a scavenging pump (10) and an injection pump (20) are provided. The scavenging pump (10) is provided in a return line (13) between the control chamber (2) and the fuel tank (9). The fuel can be pumped into the air-intake channel (14) with a displacement piston (21) of the injection pump (20). The displacement piston (21) is longitudinally guided in a cylinder (22) and delimits a pump chamber (24). The pump chamber (24) is connected via an injection line (30) to a feed (18) of the intake openings (16, 17). The piston stroke of the displacement piston (21) is limited by a stop (26) which is adjusted in stroke direction (31) by an adjusting element (23) in dependence upon temperature. This arrangement ensures a re…
