7.14 Carburettor
WARNING!
The fuel used in the chain saw has
the following hazardous properties:
1. The fluid and its vapour are
poisonous.
2. Can cause skin irritation.
3. Is highly inflammable.
Description
The figures accompanying this description do not
correspond with the carburettor on the chain saw.
They show only the principle of design and func-
tion.
Design
The carburettor is based on three sub-systems:
Metering unit, A.
Mixing unit, B.
Pump unit, C.
Fig 27
The needles and the fuels control functions are

located in the metering unit, A. Here the correct
quantity of fuel is adjusted for the actual speed and
power output. See figure 27.
The mixing unit B houses the choke, the throttle

valve and the diffuser jets. Here air is mixed with B
the fuel to give a fuel/air mixture that can be ignited
by the ignition spark. See figure 28.
Fig 28
In the pump unit C, fuel is pumped from the fuel

tank to the carburettors metering unit. One side of
the pump diaphragm is connected to the crankcase
and pulses in time with the pressure changes in
the crankcase. The other side of the diaphragm
pumps the fuel. See figure 29.
Fig 29
34 - English

Repair Instructions
Function
The carburettor operates differently in the following
modes:
Cold start mode

Idling mode
Part throttle mode
Full throttle mode
In cold start mode the choke valve H is completely

shut. This increases the vacuum in the carburettor
and fuel is easier to suck from all the diffuser jets
D, E, and F. The throttle valve I is partly open. The
throttle valve, J, is closed. See figure 30.
Fig 30
In idling mode, the throttle valves I and J are

closed and the choke valve H is open.
Air is sucked in through an aperture in the throttle

valve and a small amount of fuel is supplied
through the diffuser jet D. See figure 31.
Fig 31
In part throttle mode, the throttle valve I is partly

open and the choke valve H is fully open. Fuel is
supplied through the diffuser jets D and E. The
throttle valve, J, starts to open. See figure 32.
Fig 32
In the full throttle mode both valves are open and

fuel is supplied through all four diffuser jets (D, E,
F and G). The throttle valve, J, is fully open. See
figure 32.
