Claim:
A carburetor comprising: a throttle element that is rotatably supported on a throttle shaft; a choke element that is rotatably supported on a choke shaft; a first coupling element that is fixedly connected to said throttle shaft; a second coupling element that is connected to said choke shaft; wherein said first coupling element and said second coupling element in at least one locked position define a start position of said throttle element and said choke element; wherein said at least one locked position is released by rotation of said throttle shaft in opening direction of said throttle element; wherein said at least one locked position is released by rotation of said choke shaft in opening direction of said choke element; wherein one of said first and said second coupling elements is an at least partially elastic coupling element; wherein, upon rotation of said choke shaft from said at least one locked position into an open position, said at least partially elastic coupling element is elastically deformed and releases said at least one locked position effected between said first and second coupling elements.
