Abstract: A carburetor arrangement changes the ratio of air and fuel in the air/fuel mixture for an internal combustion engine of a handheld motor-driven apparatus such as a chain saw, hedge trimmer or the like. The carburetor arrangement includes a membrane carburetor with a regulating membrane by means of which a valve needle is lifted from a valve seat against the force of a spring. The valve needle and valve seat conjointly define a valve for admitting fuel into a chamber of the carburetor. A positioning member is mounted with respect to the regulating membrane and is actuable in dependence upon the rotational speed of the engine. The actuation occurs such that the valve needle is additionally displaced a further incremental amount in response to a predetermined rotational speed of the engine thereby enriching the air/fuel mixture by an additional amount.
