Abstract
An air-fuel mixture generating device includes a main body equipped with a diaphragm-type fuel pump, a fuel injection valve attached to the main body, and a manual fuel pump attached to the main body for filling a fuel passageway with fuel when the diaphragm-type fuel pump is not operating. The manual fuel pump has an inlet port which communicates with the fuel passageway and a pressure-adjusting valve disposed at the inlet port of the manual fuel pump, thereby enabling it to act not only as an intake valve when the manual fuel pump is operated but also as a relief valve for allowing the fuel inside the fuel passageway to escape into a pump chamber of the manual fuel pump when the pressure of fuel inside the fuel passageway exceeds a predetermined pressure.
