Abstract: A carburetor has a housing wherein a control drum is rotatably mounted. A section of an intake channel is formed in the carburetor. A subsection of this section is formed in the control drum. The control drum controls the free flow cross section of the intake channel. A fuel opening is connected to a fuel chamber via an unbranched fuel channel which opens into the subsection of the intake channel. A simple configuration of the carburetor is achieved by the carburetor including an electrically actuated valve which controls the flow of fuel through the fuel channel. For a method for operating an internal combustion engine with a carburetor, a temperature (T) is determined before or during the starting of the engine and that the flow of fuel through the fuel channel during the starting of the engine is controlled in dependence upon the temperature (T).

Abstract: A manually actuated feed pump is provided with a primer bulb to be manually actuated by an operator. The primer bulb has a pump chamber. A travel-controlled valve connects the pump chamber to a fuel line. The travel-controlled valve has a valve member that is moved by an actuation travel of the primer bulb into an open position that opens the travel-controlled valve. A first spring is operatively connected to the valve member and to the primer bulb. The primer bulb acts through the first spring on the valve member.

Abstract: A combustion engine (1) has a carburetor (17) for supplying an air/fuel mixture. An intake channel (16) is formed in the carburetor (17) and fuel is drawn into the intake channel because of the underpressure which forms during operation. The fuel quantity, which is drawn into the intake channel (16), is controlled at least in part by an electromagnetic fuel valve (23) which is open when no power is applied thereto. The engine (1) has a device for igniting the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber (3) of the engine and a stop switch (74) for switching off the ignition. Furthermore, a control unit (20) and a device (75) for energy supply are provided. A method for operating the engine (1) provides that the fuel valve (23) is held in the closed position by the control unit (20) after the stop switch (74) is actuated.
