Abstract

A combustion engine carburetor with a fuel-and-air mixing passage extending through a body and a float bowl engaged sealably to the body. A vacuum actuated acceleration fuel pump is preferably carried by the float bowl and has a hose-less vacuum channel communicating between the fuel-and-air mixing passage downstream of a throttle valve and a vacuum chamber of the acceleration pump. A hose-less fuel discharge channel communicates between a supplemental fuel chamber of the acceleration pump and the fuel-and-air mixing passage between a venturi and a choke valve in the mixing passage. Preferably, the fuel discharge channel has an injecting bore portion defined by the body and being angled to direct fuel in a downstream direction toward the venturi to promote mixing with air.
