A motor saw wherein combustion air is drawn via a port tangentially located at the fan wheel in the fan housing of the motor saw. The combustion air is taken from an air stream in circulation from an air inlet at the top surface of the motor saw body where the concentration of pollutants is low. Pollutants are separated by the centrifugal effect of the fan before the air gets into the port. The cooling capacity of the air stream is completed with further cooling air from a second inlet. The combustion air can be pre-heated in a heating loop.

Arrangement in an air-cooled I. C. engine

The air inlet of the cooling fan is positioned substantially on top of a motor saw body so that the air is drawn from a region above the saw where the concentration of pollutants is considerably lower than at the usually known inlet through the fan cover. The air inlet is positioned at a distance from the fan cover to provide a connecting channel between the inlet and the fan wheel, in which channel a shunt damper is arranged. The shunt channel enables a balanced mixture of cold outdoor air and warm recirculating inner air so that a proper engine temperature can be effected.
