Abstract

A carburetor includes a main fuel path connected to a main nozzle and a slow fuel path connected to a slow port. The main fuel path and the slow fuel path are separated from each other and are independently communicated to a constant fuel chamber below a fuel level of the fuel chamber. The slow fuel path includes a first slow jet located above the fuel level and a second slow jet located in the downstream of the first slow jet. A opening size of the second slow jet is smaller than that of the first slow jet, and the first and second slow jets are arranged in series.

Claims (14)

1. A carburetor comprising:

a carburetor body including an air intake path including a venturi portion, the carburetor body further including a main nozzle opened at the venturi portion and a slow port opened on the air intake path downstream of the venturi portion;

a constant fuel chamber provided at a lower part of the carburetor body to store a certain amount of fuel to be drawn out through the main nozzle and the slow port;

a main fuel path connected to the main nozzle; and

a slow fuel path connected to the slow port,

wherein the main fuel path and the slow fuel path are separated from each other and are independently communicated to the inside of the fuel chamber below a fuel level of the fuel chamber, and

wherein the slow fuel path includes a first slow jet disposed above the fuel level and a second slow jet disposed downstream of the first slow jet and including a opening size smaller than that of the first slow jet, and the first slow jet and the second slow jet are arranged in series.

2. The carburetor according to claim 1 , wherein the slow fuel path includes:

a linear longitudinal fuel path disposed along and in proximity to a longitudinal centerline of the fuel chamber,

a linear transverse fuel path disposed parallel with the air intake path on a side of the air intake path, and connected to the slow port, and

a linear oblique fuel path intersects the longitudinal fuel path and the transverse fuel path to communicate the longitudinal fuel path to the transverse fuel path.

3. The carburetor according to claim 2 , wherein the first slow jet is disposed at the upper end of the longitudinal fuel path.

4. The carburetor according to claim 2 , wherein a jet block including the second slow jet is inserted in the oblique fuel path.

5. The carburetor according to claim 1 , wherein a opening area of the first slow jet is set to 1.5 to 2 times inclusive larger than the second slow jet.
