Abstract:
1. A carburetor comprising: an air intake channel; a venturi disposed in the air intake channel, the venturi including an inwardly extending bulging portion; a choke valve disposed in the air intake channel on the upstream side of the venturi; a throttle valve disposed in the air intake channel on the downstream side of the venturi, wherein: the choke valve and the throttle valve are each rotatable between a fully closed position in which the choke valve and the throttle valve are substantially parallel and a fully opened position in which an edge of the choke valve and an edge of the throttle valve are closely opposing each other, thereby forming a nearly triangular region in a planar view between the edge of the choke valve and the edge of the throttle valve on the inner periphery of the air intake channel; the bulging portion extends into the nearly triangular region defined between the closely opposing edge of the choke valve and the edge of the throttle valve; the air intake channel is divided into an air-fuel mixture channel at which a fuel intake port is provided and an air channel through which guiding air flows by the choke valve and the throttle valve when in the fully opened position and the bulging portion; the bulging portion of the venturi occupies a substantial part of the nearly triangular region between the edge of the choke valve and the edge of the throttle valve when they are in their fully opened positions, thereby preventing fuel from entering the air channel from the air-fuel mixture channel; and a plate-shaped bulging portion fills a void defined by the edge of the throttle valve in the fully opened position and an exit of the carburetor.
