Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0859144A2] The membrane carburettor has a membrane-controlled control chamber (15) for the fuel (K) with a number of fuel channels (10,16,18,21) and an air intake channel (1) for air (L). It has at least one part-loading channel (16,18) and an idling channel (21), where each part-loading channel (16,18) is separated from the idling channel over their whole length. Each fuel channel (10,16,18,21) is blocked from an air feed, independently of the working condition.
