Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for starting an internal combustion engine using a starting device, an ignition spark from a spark plug of an internal combustion engine being controllable by the starting device as a function of the speed of the crankshaft, a progressive rise of the advance of the ignition angle before top dead center already being performed as a function of the crankshaft speed at low speeds below the idle speed, which is followed at rising crankshaft speed by a sudden drop of the advance of the ignition angle to a plateau of the idle speed range.

Abstract: A chainsaw includes an internal combustion engine with a fuel-air mixture inlet and a carburettor with a fuel-air mixture outlet disposed in the direction of flow of a fuel-air mixture in front of the fuel-air mixture inlet. A fuel-air mixture channel is provided between the fuel-air mixture outlet and the fuel-air mixture inlet. A lubricant guide is provided along components to be lubricated, such that the lubricant circuit is connected particularly effectively to the fuel supply of the internal combustion engine. A removal device for fuel with a recess which receives fuel and supplies the lubricant guide is provided between the fuel-air mixture outlet and the fuel-air mixture inlet.

Abstract: A drive system for a tool, particularly a chain saw, includes a fresh air inlet and an intake manifold arranged after the fresh air inlet in the flow direction of the fresh air that opens into a carburettor. A combustion engine is provided that is arranged after the carburettor in the flow direction of an air-fuel mixture produced in the carburettor, in which the carburettor is exposed to a lower level of thermal stress. At least one heat conducting cooling vane is connected to the carburettor and protrudes outwards into direct contact with the ambient fresh air.

Abstract: A magnetically energized ignition system (10, 24) for a small engine includes a rotary magnet system (11, 25) driven by the crank shaft of the engine, a charging coil (12, 26) in which a voltage is induced by the rotating magnet system (11, 25) an energy store (12, 28) which is charged by the charging coil (12, 26), a voltage converter (19, 34) which is connected with the energy store (12, 28) and creates a transformed high ignition voltage, a spark plug (23, 35) connected with the output of the voltage converter (19, 34), a crank shaft position indicator (14, 29), and a switch element (13, 27) controlled by the crank shaft position indicator and which has an effect on the energy store (12, 28), and reduces the disadvantages of known ignition systems, especially saving costs in respect to known ignition systems, especially by making possible the saving of costs in respect to high voltage cabling, the ignition system also being particularly suited to the narrow space requirements of small motors in that the vo
