In at least some implementations, a charge forming device includes a body having a main bore, a fuel metering assembly including a diaphragm that defines at least part of a fuel chamber from which fuel is provided to the main bore and a reference chamber separate from the fuel chamber, a passage communicated with a subatmospheric pressure source and with the reference chamber, and an electrically actuated valve having an open position and a closed position, and wherein the valve at least substantially prevents communication of the pressure source with the reference chamber when the valve is in the closed position and permits communication of the pressure source with the reference chamber when the valve is in the open position to vary the rate of fuel flow from the fuel chamber.

A carburetor has a carburetor housing wherein an intake channel section is arranged. A fuel opening opens into the intake channel section. The carburetor has a fuel pump with a pump membrane delimiting a pump chamber connected to a fuel inlet. A pressure controller has a control membrane separating a control chamber from a compensation chamber. The control chamber is connected to a fuel outlet leading out from the carburetor. The compensation chamber is connected to a compensation connection. The carburetor housing has a carburetor body, a pump cover and an intermediate part arranged therebetween. The fuel inlet, the fuel outlet and the compensation connection are formed on the intermediate part. The fuel inlet, the fuel outlet and the compensation connection are arranged on the side of the carburetor that faces away from the combustion engine.

A carburetor drain apparatus includes a carburetor bowl, a fuel supply pipe, a fuel drain pipe, and a bail interface. The carburetor bowl is configured to store fuel and provide the fuel to an air passage. The fuel supply pipe is connected a fuel tank and the carburetor bowl. The fuel drain pipe is connected to the carburetor bowl. The bail interface is configured to operate in response to actuation of a bail to open the fuel drain pipe.

A fuel enrichment simple starting device for a carburetor includes a fuel cup and a main body, which includes a mixing room, a metering room, a fuel chamber separated into a fuel pumping chamber and a fuel enrichment chamber, a fuel inputting passage, a fuel passage, a starting passage and a fuel returning passage. The fuel pumping chamber and the fuel enrichment chamber are in communication with the fuel cup. One end of the fuel inputting passage is in communication with the fuel enrichment chamber, and the other end thereof is in communication with the metering room. One end of the starting passage is in communication with the fuel enrichment chamber, and the other end thereof is in communication with the mixing room. One end of the fuel returning passage is in communication with the fuel cup, and the other end thereof is in communication with a fuel tank.

A starting device for feeding a quantity of fuel from the fixed-quantity fuel chamber to an intake passage during start-up having a manually operated primary pump for suctioning/pumping fuel and arranged on a fuel introduction path connected along a fuel-feeding path; and a fixed-quantity fuel chamber for temporarily storing fuel delivered from the primary pump. An internal wall of the fixed-quantity fuel chamber undergoes elastic displacement, allowing its internal capacity to expand/shrink within a predetermined range; the fixed-quantity fuel chamber is connected to a fuel delivery path that communicates with the intake passage side and has a manually operated open/close valve; the valve is opened in a state in which, due to the primary pump being operated, the fixed-quantity fuel chamber is filled with a predetermined quantity of fuel while enlarging its internal capacity, whereby it shrinks due to an elastic contraction force and the fuel.
