Abstract
An apparatus for supplying a start-fuel to an internal combustion engine for a portable type machine such as a chain saw or brush cutter which has an electric battery for use in starting. An electrically driven reversible pump is used to draw fuel from a diaphragm carburetor metering chamber into a fuel reservoir and also to draw fuel from a fuel tank into the metering chamber. Under cold-start conditions, the pump is reversed and fuel from the reservoir is directed to a jet at the entrance of the carburetor venturi passage to provide a rich mixture to assist in starting.
