Abstract
An altitude compensating device for carburetors has an air metering valve in fluid communication with the fuel passage of the carburetor and a pressure-sensitive bellows adapted to drivingly control the air metering valve such that the flow rate of the compensating air is increased as the altitude increases. A closed control air chamber is defined at the upstream side of the air metering valve. Venturi vacuum around the venturi portion of the intake passage of the carburetor and air are introduced into the control air chamber so that the pressure in the latter is reduced below the atmospheric pressure with an increase of the intake air flow rate to the engine and the compensating air is decreased to eliminate undesirable low concentration tendency of the mixture.
