Abstract
A membrane carburetor ( ) for an internal combustion engine includes a control chamber ( ) delimited by a membrane. The control chamber ( ) is connected via a feed line ( ) to a fuel tank ( ). The feed line ( ) is cleared with the deflection of the membrane ( ) because of underpressure in the control chamber ( ). The control chamber ( ) is connected via at least one intake opening ( ) with an air-intake channel ( ) to the engine. As start-assist devices for the engine, a scavenging pump ( ) and an injection pump ( ) are provided. The scavenging pump ( ) is provided in a return line ( ) between the control chamber ( ) and the fuel tank ( ). The fuel can be pumped into the air-intake channel ( 4) with a displacement piston ( ) of the injection pump ( ). The displacement piston ( ) is longitudinally guided in a cylinder ( ) and delimits a pump chamber ( ). The pump chamber ( ) is connected via an injection line ( ) to a feed ( ) of the intake openings ( ). The piston stroke of the displacement piston ( ) is limited by a stop ( ) which is adjusted in stroke direction ( ) by an adjusting element ( ) in dependence upon temperature. This arrangement ensures a reliable start of the engine with an easy operability of the start-assist devices.
